Colours of the urban

In September 2024, Teresa participated in a workshop, learning to observe the colours of nature in the urban. The event is designed and hosted by Urban Diaries—a Hong Kong based eco-storytelling NGO. It is also part of a larger program, The alternative school, organised by Para Site. There is a funeral parlour just around the corner on the main street. Blue hydrangeas were placed at its entrance as offerings. Across the road is an urban park filled with small plants with green leaves and the yellow bamboo. Upon closer inspection, the seemingly monotonous green among different plants reveals varying hues and textures.
