The project comes from a simple idea: How can artists make rural life to be recognized?

When we are told that Sangwoodgoon need a composting toilet, we are interested in finding out the significance and meaning behind it. Imagine that our toilet is no longer just an entrance of the sewage system, it can also be a container that holds the necessities of the land. Similar to rural life, instead of representing laggard, primitiveness and temporariness, composting toilet should be symbolizing the attitude of sustainable development. Even though we cannot build a great number of composting toilets, we would still like to deliver the message with the help of the art.

In this plan, we are trying to operate the symbolic meaning behind composting toilet. Upon harvesting, we are expected to produce vegetables, jam and wine. In this way, we can share our fruits with Hong Kong citizens, who live in urban areas and rarely get in touch with farmland.
