Peace of the graveyard

Peace of the Graveyard is a one-year photographic documentation that captures the evolving landscape of Hong Kong following the sudden implementation of the National Security Law on July 1, 2020. This project showcases the transformation of sites where protests once took place, revealing the remnants of violent clashes that occurred. As the waves of protests gradually faded and Hong Kong appeared to regain a sense of stability, a pervasive layer of fog hung over the city, casting a lingering shadow in a specific colour. Each photograph in this series intentionally incorporates Pantone 337C, the colour chosen to promote Hong Kong's National Security Law. This deliberate use of colour visually represents the lasting influence the law has had on the city's daily operations and the collective consciousness of its people since its implementation. Through this exploration of the aftermath of mass protests and the influence of authoritative regimes, the project delves into the profound effects of political changes on personal memories within oppressive political contexts.
