People often feel a sense of strangeness – even fear – when faced with patterns they cannot decipher. Yet, over time, this unfamiliarity evolves: it ferments, sparking curiosity, fantasy, and exploration, ultimately becoming the wellspring of imagination.

Situated in the atrium of PMQ, dozens of mirrored panels are arranged at varying angles, heights, and inclinations to form an intricate network of reflections – a miniature labyrinth reminiscent of a cityscape. Though the physical array measures just 5 × 5 meters, its clever use of reflection integrates seamlessly with the surrounding environment and nearby exhibits, generating boundless, ever-shifting visual illusions.

The installation serves as both a metaphor for Hong Kong itself and a mirror turned toward the viewer. The designers invite visitors to step inside, navigating the interplay of real and virtual spaces, seeking an exit amid the maze, and surrendering to a profound illusion of strangeness. This is more than a spatial adventure; it is an inward journey that confronts the self and invites deeper questions about existence.

Through this work, the designers explore human responses to unfamiliar environments. Far from being an endpoint, this sense of strangeness acts as a catalyst, prompting viewers to contemplate fundamental questions: Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?
