“SAND” Exhibition by Wataru Shinji and Lily Zhang

Practitioners-in-residence Wataru Shinji and Lily Zhang present an exhibition, SAND, at The Catalyst gallery with the Xevarion Institute in Sheung Wan.

From a single tiny grain to a vast planetary environment, the exhibition celebrates this humble yet extraordinary substance encapsulating the very essence of the earth we inhabit, and explores sand’s distinct material significance through the limitless potential of design in recasting our own impact on the ground.

The gallery’s upper level features a series of educational and interactive displays, focusing on the origins and importance of sand as an invaluable yet often overlooked resource from the planet, and its essential role for not only humans but also all living species in the world.
