“Portraits of the Elderly: Journey of Life Exhibition”:”Before I Die… I want to” message wall

One of the highlights of the exhibition was the installation of a message wall called “Before I Die, I want to…”. This concept is part of a global community art project that encourages individuals to contemplate their own mortality and reflect upon the things that hold the greatest meaning in their lives. The campaign has gained remarkable popularity worldwide, with more than 5,000 walls established across the globe and it was the first time Hong Kong hosts this impactful community artwork.

In our exhibition, it provided a platform for individuals to reflect on their lives and create a space for contemplating their goals and dreams. Some students mentioned that they were pleasantly surprised by the challenge of identifying their most important life goal before writing it down.

Here are the messages from HKMU members, we have categorized into: Love, Work, Society, Dream and Family.
