The Garden shows Wong’s experience and imagination of a forgotten place in the city suburb. The landfills depicted in the work represents the buried past memories and traces of human activities in which covered with turquoise fabrics and tyres. The artwork explores human habitats and the abandoned places in a poetic way through imagination and association to the past and present, providing audience an immersive timeless imaginative space. Wong hopes to provide a different perspective towards where we live by digging and searching buried past through her artwork in order to discover a new world.
後花園展示了黃詩慧對城市中被遺忘之地的想像與經驗。作品中所描繪的堆填區，象徵過去的記憶、人類活動的痕跡，青綠帆布淹蓋人類文明的產物，隱藏著被遺忘的歷史。作品以詩意的想像探索人類棲居的空間及被遺忘的邊緣之地，以此引發觀眾的思考與聯想，於想像中前往遙遠之境、遨遊於虛靜的意境內。同時，以另一種角度觀看城市中的邊緣及被遺忘之地，透過挖掘及調查被埋葬的過去，於當下發現新的景象或國度。
