Endless, relentless nights,

sound becomes a metronome,

the ritual continues,

what lies beneath?

Metallic hints of intricacies hidden in the wooden shell,

tracing back and forth.

While my sight was buried beneath fine carbon,

remembering only the rhythmic pull.

Step back and gaze,

fingertips are tainted,

deep breath in the flying ashes,

hollow echo rings.

Still,

holding the unknown belief,

to seek the invisible core,

until I reach the nano.

Nano, an invisible scientific measurement unit that we cannot see. Yet, the scientists spent a year using tape to isolate a nanoscale layer of graphite: graphene, the world’s thinnest yet incredibly strong material. Likewise, underneath those ritualistic struggles, 124 graduates continue to ponder, to reflect, and to seek the answer we need. Over 4 years of days and nights, we are dedicated to finding the invisible core within us in materials, space, body and the surroundings. We warmly invite you to the HKBU BAVA Grad Show 2026, to see the “nano” we have found.
