维多利亚港中西合璧、新旧交融的面貌和其独特的夜景，长久以来都是香港的地标。我们期望通过一个地标性的艺术装置 「香港之光」，进一步吸引大批游客到此观赏，并且能作为一个多元化活动的场所，供给本地居民使用，借此促进社会和谐。
Victoria Harbour, with a mixture of beautiful buildings, mountain ridges and waterfront, forms the most unforgettable icon in Hong Kong. Like Victoria Harbour itself, “The Beacon of Hong Kong” is an interactive, multi-cultural and multi-functional playground where the locals could have fun and the foreigners would visit. It is not only a new landmark but also a place that connects people and builds social harmony.

字型装置特别采用空心设计，有别于一般艺术观赏规限，鼓励群众走入艺术之中，并成为艺术的一部分。设计又加入最新虚拟实境技术，提供不同场景互动，不论种族、年龄，所有人都可以用自己的方式与艺术共融。
This installation art embraces diversity and individuality, the hollow letters design and up-to-date AR technology allow people become part of the art. People from all age groups and cultural backgrounds can have their own way to interact with the letter, for instance, sit on it, lean on it, dance, perform or simply take a photo with their friends and family.

发光的彩色粗体字型，反映了维港夜景标志性的灯光，能令游客留下了深刻的印象。网格设计灵感源于中国传统窗框，除了能诠释中国传统的“屏风”工艺，更可以增加了字体的透视感，容许日光进入，令作品在不同天气下有不同的感觉。除此之外，维港沿岸不同地区的中文名字散布在整个网格上，令归属感增强，又形成了多一个欣赏的角度，以供拍摄。
Bold fonts with bright colours reflect the beautiful Victoria Harbour night view and imprint a strong image to visitors. Mesh design is incorporated to re-interpret traditional Chinese ‘screen’ craftsmanship and traditional Chinese window frames in a contemporary way. Chinese characters of different districts along the Victoria Harbour are scattered all over the letters, boosting the sense of belonging and forming another angle of appreciation at the same time.
