the gazes of sbl are controversial and challenging to capture... i'd love to revive birdie, a not much loved girl. Having seen the korean drink ad, the impression of birdie's gaze, so sweet yet intense, and emblematic of sbl, has been in my mind , as though observing intently.. laid back and making a private judgement about her interlocutor

The Flying Frenchman (翱翔的法國人) is one of my favourite (unknown) "landmark" in Hong Kong, a sculpture by César Baldaccini, erected by the Cartier Fondation in 1991, in the piazza off Cultural Centre. It is also a favourite resting place for trepassing sparrows in the square!
A sinistre metal silhouette, soldiery and free spirit, firmly grounded and geared to set off to the sky with his (imaginary?) wings (... my impression and interpretation of this work of art)
Birdie imitates the romanticism of this Daedalus, with her Air France oldie bag and her Parisian book of map... and looking to the blue and cumulo-nimbus clustered sky. She is scorned by piyo, the real birdie messenger.
birdie: piyo, piyo, don't fly too high... don't fall like the poor icarus
