On the small, carless island of Peng Chau (pop: 6,487), this is a typical scene: the contents of a ground floor apartment spilling onto adjacent public space, absorbing it as its own. Seen in the distance is Hong Kong’s largest island, Lantau; and, with a lovely seafront position the affects of offshore winds can give ‘dynamic movement’ to a photograph, but has battered the blue-striped multi-use tarpaulin, whose shards now roughly cover surplus hardware, furniture, and appliances, but miss a set of ‘musical’ chairs, and a washing-machine mouthing “Oh!”

在無憂無慮的小島坪洲（人口：6487）上，有這麼一幕典型場景：底層單位的傢俬散佈至畔鄰的公園區域，將其納為己用。身在此處，能眺望到香港最大的島嶼，大嶼山。於此絕佳位置，照片看起來有一層離岸海風吹拂的動感效果，但同時也令藍條紋的多用途防水布變得破舊不堪。這塊布如今草草的遮蓋在多餘的五金用品、傢俱和電器上，卻忽略予一對「音樂」椅子和一架「O咀」的洗衣機。
