I came across a small church, partly obscured by the modern skyscrapers of Hong Kong. Next to the church, a school brought life to the forest of concrete giants. Despite its low stature, All Saints' Cathedral stands out from the modern buildings, providing contrast in architectural style, era and intention.
偶然發現這灰調城市中掩藏著一座矮小的教堂，它被現代建築物包裹著，令人難以窺得全貌。

Saint Teresa’s Church, a familiar landmark glimpsed daily from my bus window, had long captivated me with its quiet beauty, beckoning me to capture it on canvas. However, upon visiting the site, I discovered a frustrating reality. The church, hemmed in by a tangle of flyovers and houses, proved elusive to a complete view. Every angle I explored was thwarted by the intrusion of modern structures. Reluctantly, I accepted this obstructed perspective, recognizing it as a poignant reflection of Hong Kong itself – a city teeming with life, yet undeniably crowded. I tried to emphasize the open sky above, but even this couldn’t fully mask the fact that this characterful church was besieged by the very buildings essential to the city’s relentless progress.
聖德肋撒堂，是我經常乘坐巴士都會經過，從車窗瞥見的一處熟悉地標，它寧靜的美一直吸引著我。然而，當我親臨現場時，卻發現了一個令人沮喪的現實。教堂被縱橫交錯的高架橋和房屋包圍，難以一覽全貌。無論我從哪個角度嘗試，現代建築都無情地阻擋了我的視線。無奈之下，我接受了這種受阻的視角，意識到這恰恰是香港的一個縮影——一個充滿活力卻又擁擠不堪的城市。我試圖在畫面中增添更多天空的廣闊，但這仍無法完全掩蓋一個事實：這座充滿個性的教堂，正被城市發展所必需的建築重重包圍。

One day, a fleeting glimpse from a bus window of the Kowloon Union Church sparked an unexpected artistic impulse. Impatient to reach my destination, I hopped off the bus at the next stop, drawn by an irresistible urge to examine the church more closely. Yet, a constant stream of traffic flowed between me and the building, never ceasing, not even for a moment. This relentless urban rhythm, so quintessentially Hong Kong, became the very essence of my painting.
有一天，我從巴士車窗偶然瞥見九龍佑寧堂，霎時激發了我的創作靈感。還沒到目的地，我便迫不及待地下車，想更仔細地端詳這座教堂。然而，從這個角度看去，川流不息的車輛總是不停地在我面前穿梭，從未有片刻停歇。這不停歇的都市脈動，正是香港的獨特之處，也成為了我這幅畫的精髓所在。

Wandering through the city streets, I stumbled upon a beautiful Western-style building nestled amongst the towering skyscrapers. In stark contrast to the gray and imposing modern structures surrounding it, this building was bathed in sunlight, appearing to shimmer and gleam. Small and vibrantly colored, it was enveloped by the towering gray giants, much like the perspective in the painting, tucked away and hidden within the urban canyons.
漫步街頭，偶然在高樓大廈的夾縫中，發現了一座精緻的西式建築。與周遭灰暗高聳的現代建築形成鮮明對比，沐浴在陽光下的它，閃耀著奪目光彩。矮小而色彩明艷的它，彷彿是夾在灰色巨石間的寶石，如同畫中視角一般，靜靜地隱匿於街巷深處。
