This is a philosophical confusion between humans and nature. Complex is made solely in beeswax, a natural material originating from the beehive. A material that is for the bee’s home building now in a form of man made building blocks. In a switch thinking, can human live under the utopian structure like the bees? The square-shaped cells in open lattice cast from moulds similar to those used in Brutalist architecture, they are produced for use in marginal spaces such as walkways, corridors and staircase landings. Mimicking the cells of a beehive, the sculpture provokes thoughts about the liminal space of a habitable area, a residential building and a home.

This sensory texture of beeswax is biosynthesised by honey bees and is inert with high plasticity, the substance is a secretion of mixture with resins, oils, and pollen collected by the bee from surrounding vegetation. It is the oldest wax known to man and are widely used in cosmetics from ancient time to the present. The sensory stimulation of the beeswax delivers a lasting impression of tangible warmth visually and subconsciously.‍

Complex also refers to a structure made up of interconnected or related structures such as housing estates that we can see everywhere in Hong Kong. The dense buildings are breathtaking and suffocating, while the breeze blocks are just enough to bring oxygen to this suffocation, they create a breathing space for the habitants.

They called these breeze blocks or breeze breakers, which balance the impact of sunlight and provide ventilation for outdoor patios and breezeways. Imagine the humidity in Hong Kong especially in Summer, the humid and salty scent from the sea seep through the breeze blocks, the wind refresh your sweating body, and the sun is baking on the other side of the breeze wall.

人類與自然存在著一種哲學上的混淆。《Complex》完全以源自蜂巢的天然材料「蜂蠟」制成，而這種蜜蜂居所的建築材料現在被轉化為人造的積木。易地而處，人類有可能像蜜蜂一樣住在烏托邦的結構下嗎？模造的方形蜂房呈開放式結構，與粗獷主義的建築相類近，均被製造為人行道、走廊和樓梯平台等等的邊緣空間所用。此雕塑模仿蜂房的構造，誘發對存在於可居住環境、住宅大廈和家居的過渡性空間的思考。

蜂蠟的質地來自蜜蜂生物合成的過程，具有高度的可塑性。此物質是蜜蜂從植物中採集樹脂、油份和花粉，混合三者而成的分泌物。它是人類已知最古老的蠟，時至今日仍然被廣泛地使用於化妝品中。蜂蠟對感官的溫和刺激使人們在視覺及潛意識上恆久地留下了它溫暖的印象。

《Complex》同時指向了香港常見，相連的房屋結構。密密麻麻的大廈既令人嘆為觀止又充滿窒息感，而煤渣磚恰好為緊逼的結構帶來氧氣，成為居民的喘息空間。

這些磚塊被稱為煤渣磚，被用於減低陽光的影響，同時為室外露台和通風廊帶來通風效果。想像在香港夏日的濕氣之下，潮濕又帶點咸味的海風從煤渣磚吹進，拂過你汗濕的身體，炙熱的太陽則被隔絕在牆的另一側。
