“We always hope to see an infinite sky but our emotional status and personal viewpoints affect what we really see. The kite series, presented in an art installation, seems to be collecting pieces of the sky being viewed by different individuals. Kites containing sky images fly up to the sky illustrate the balance of dream and reality, which is also Chan’s exploration of human beings and space.”

 「我們總希望看到一個更廣闊和遼遠的天空，但看得見與否，視乎心境與觀點。風箏作品以裝置呈現，好像在收集各人眼睛裡共睹的種種天空片段。風箏載著不同的天空剪影在天際飛翔，好比現實與夢想的平衡，亦是陳閃對人與空間的進一步思考與探索。」
