Macau Glory
Using the traditional art of Portuguese glazed tiles - "Azulejo", this artwork depicts the development of Macau's socio-culture and history from the 16th century up to today.
The first panel represents the initial encounter between the Chinese and Portuguese; illustrating their mutual curiosity and first exchange of gifts, while the second panel shows the continuing deepening bond between Macau’s different communities.
All the characters and symbolic elements hang over a cosmopolitan city, with a detailed urban narrative that depicts Macau's evolution throughout the centuries.
The two Azulejo panels tell the stories of all the communities in Macau over the last five hundred years.
