Causeway Bay · Hong Kong | 2018 20 June 2018  Paddle Paddle Paddle Intense competition runs between teams of paddlers at the Dragon Boat Festival celebration in Tai O, Hong Kong's last fishing village on Lantao Island on Monday. Taking place on the 5th day of the 5th Lunar month, Duan Wu (Dragon Boat) Festival traces its origins to Qu Yuan, a 3rd Century official who was disillusioned with the corrupt government that he drowned himself in the river in protest. The locals rushed to the site, paddling on their boats and banging drums and gongs to scare away anything that might harm Qu Yuan in hopes to find and rescue him but they were unsuccesful. They also brought offerings of rice dumplings to calm the old man's spirit.

The desk was originally part of Kacey's entry for the government- sponsored 'Hi Hill' art installation at Tsuen Lung Village, with chairs and desks marked by graffiti strewn across the classroom recording titbits of school life. It was deemed too political and had to be removed at the request of the curator.
