Roots of a majestic banyan covering the plate of King George V Memorial Park, Hong Kong, from the project - ‘Exile to the Red Planet’. Defying limitations, Banyan trees sprout humbly on Hong Kong's slopes and walls, earning the name "Stonewall Trees" for their resilience. These trees play a crucial role in soil stability, anchoring themselves firmly and safeguarding both the terrain and human life.

The traditional craftsmanship of stonewall building is sadly no longer practiced and has been replaced by modern cementing techniques. The loss of this craftsmanship implies that once the existing Stonewall Trees vanish, it becomes increasingly difficult for new ones to emerge.

The project ‘Exile to the Red Planet’ features a Hong Kong native species, the Chinese Banyan, and the story of a neglected Banyan exiled to Mars. Click HERE to read the full story.
