A series of three interactive artworks about poverty in food, clothing and shelter respectively. Each work invites audiences to physically participate while educating them about the condition of poverty and how we can solve it.
Every problem has a solution if each party cooperates. For example, the supermarket could give the remaining food at the end of the day to the hungry instead of throwing it away. People could donate good condition clothes to those in need because it can elevate their looks and lift up their mental health. Finally, the government could build a housing area that has good infrastructure, so it is convenient for residents to commute from place to place while saving their time and money.
In other words, every organisation and everyone needs to learn to empathise with each other. Meanwhile, there are many ways for each of us to work together from giving to enhancing. Eventually, we will be able to make the world become a better place for everyone to live fairly.
