"In this episode, Sammy and Ceci share the design intention behind their built installation at High Island for the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival. The artwork's inspiration is drawn from the natural geographical landscape and the rituals from the local culture into a clustered form of pillars. 'Our artwork, One-Sixth Land, celebrates these iconic depictions, geographical features and representative colours to create a unique and beautiful piece.Portions of the pillars feature ropes that capture the vertical patterns, while others act as mirrors, reflecting the natural view of the sea and the landscape. The artwork offers visitors a sense of the vast beauty of High Island from afar, then allow them to explore it up close', narrated by Sammy and Ceci. " - Gary Yeow.

The festival runs from 15 September 2023 to 14 January 2024, covering the area of Yim Tin Tsai, Sharp Island, Kau Sai Chau and High Island, through artworks, programmes and guided tours to connect the island stories.
