Can you smell the old memories in the air?

CLDW’s art collection recently got a new family member. It’s a sculpture of the 3rd building of HSBC headquarter which was in 1950s. This art piece is called “Swiss Bank” and is created by a young and talented architect Stanley Siu. This sculpture is made up by sugus which is a popular candy among children in Hong Kong in the past. Also, for the 3rd building of HSBC headquarters had witnessed Hong Kong history from 1950s to 1970s. The building was demolished and rebuilt to be the 4th building in present for creating more space to accommodate its expanding business. Nevertheless, the building is memorable for every Hong Kong people who born during 1950s to 1970s. The old building can’t be kept physically; however, it can be kept in this art piece. Can you smell the old memories in the air? From the sculpture, does it remind your childhood in Hong Kong? Can you smell your warm, unique and sweet childhood memories? 




Bingo! It’s made of Sugus.
