Smiling Heart mural : 「心思良品」門外壁畫
This was taken with my Sony mobile phone while travelling in Hong Kong. It was next to the entrance to a handcraft shop at the Star Ferry Concourse in Tsim Sha Tsui. The mixed natural and artificial lighting on the brick wall made the mural very realistic, especially the shades and shadows.
"Smiling HeART” is a social enterprise selling handcrafts that made by people in recovery from mental illness, especially the women with depression. It aims to promote social inclusion, and to raise public awareness on mental health. The mural was painted by an unknown artist.
“Smiling HeART” originates from a story of a group of women with emotional distress. They determine to get out of emotional illness and regain confidence through handcrafts creation. This group of ordinary housewives was suffered from depression due to various pressures. Every day, they need to face tremendous emotional distress and deal with endless social discrimination. Surprisingly, handcrafts creation has created a comfort zone for them. During the process of stitching, they not only find their inner peace, but also rebuild their self-confidence.
「心思良品」是專門協助精神康復的社會企業，售賣由精神復元人士製作的手藝品。讓一群抑鬱症的朋友，精心為顧客設計及生產獨特的手工藝品，與大眾分享創作的喜悅。
