Dream Back Home-SH-OL

“Dream Back Home – SH – OL is an original work by the artist Chau Ming Beck. In this dream, I embarked on a journey riding a moonlit boat back to my long-lost hometown, Shanghai. As the boat sailed, a series of enchanting scenes unfolded before my eyes. First, I was greeted by the iconic “Oriental Pearl Radio & Television Tower.” This magnificent structure, with its eleven interconnected spheres, resembled the wondrous imagery of “large pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate.” As one of Shanghai’s landmark buildings, it exuded the mysterious allure of the East combined with the modern charm, resembling a dancing pearl suspended in the sky. Next, I arrived at the “Peace Hotel,” a grand ballroom of old Shanghai. Bearing witness to Shanghai’s passage of time and the changes of eras, this legendary venue, even after undergoing renovation, remained an emblem of Shanghai, the city that never sleeps.
