Introduction of works:
I always have a close bond with the ocean and whales and only through recent research I come to know that whale is a symbol of inner voice and creativity. Hence, I have dedicated this installation to my first solo exhibition.
“The whale” is composed of two parts, the tail is a wooden sculpture which is one of my beloved piece among my earliest work. Whereas the body is made of bamboo sticks, this is a form of Chinese traditional art which I was very lucky to learn from the few experienced professionals in Hong Kong, and I hope this traditional handicraft can carry on.
Mr. Pang’s whale made from bamboo strips has no tail, and the head seems to be searching for a tail carved from wood. During the difficult self-rescue process, he was unfortunately swallowed up by discarded plastic that people fell into the sea.

作品介紹：
從小喜歡鯨魚與海洋,有一種莫名的親切感，最緊翻查資料才鯨魚代表內在嘅聲音與及創造力。所以在今次展覽裏我特別做了一個鯨魚裝置。
作品结合了我早期刻有圖騰木雕鯨魚尾作品與最近期的竹篾扎作，鯨魚是我最喜歡的動物，而竹篾扎作的身朐是我在去年學習扎火龍技巧而做，用這方式是為了傳承中國傳統手工藝，亦代表了昨日與今天的我。
彭氏用竹條製作的鯨魚沒有尾部，頭部似乎在尋找木頭雕刻的鯨尾。 在艱難的自救過程中，不幸被人們落入海中的廢棄塑膠吞沒。
