/ The works transform local legends and historical motifs into a series of "pseudo-relics"—ceramic sculptures that blend prehistoric symbols with pop culture and sci-fi aesthetics. By treating the district’s history as a series of "marginal notes," Tao’s pieces challenge the boundary between fact and fiction, inviting viewers to reconsider the spiritual and material heritage of Wong Chuk Hang through the tactile nature of clay. /
