​“Victoria East” is approximately today’s Tseung Kwan O. On the map of “Hong Kong Extension” dated 1898, the location of Tseung Kwan O is marked as "East Opening/ East Exit”, probably denoting theeastern outlet of Victoria Harbour.
 
“Victoria East” is a vanished sea. When the British colonial government decided to develop Tseung Kwan O in 1980s as the third generation of “new town”, the land was entirely reclaimed from hills and the sea.
 
During FUSE artist residency, Law Yuk Mui set a time frame of a century, i.e. 1906-2017, to investigate urban development from four perspectives - mountain, sea, coastline and wind.

From there the artist record, carve and recreate the spatial traces in relation to history, politics, colonisation and urban planning.
