Ivan Lam:
The mission of the artwork will be centered on these words – APATHY, EMPATHY and SYMPATHY. These three words express my emotions on how people including myself feel about the environment.
Because these three words sound the same, people assume that they mean the same thing – but they could not be more different. It is the subtle nuances of those differences which result in these words being misused and abused.
This applies to the general public about their feelings toward the environment. This is how I feel that people feel about the environment. And this is how I feel about the environment; apathetic, empathetic, and sympathetic.
