Through the installation of a tepee that is 18-20ft in height constructed by bamboo and rice paper, David Cheung pays tribute to the First Nation and Chinese people whom were deprived of their rights to vote under the 1872 British Columbia Qualifications of Voters Act. He will also perform a symbolic Buddhist ritual by destroying about 5,000 artworks on rice paper crumpled in ball-shape and the tepee to commemorate the Chinese collies whom had died during the construction of the western section of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Audiences are also invited to interact with the art piece during the exhibition.

 

David Cheung's work often involves audiences and public as active participants. He had initiated the Arti-Smoking project which uses creative methods to enhance public awareness of the epidemic magnitude of deaths from tobacco uses (over 4,000,000 a year globally), as well as gathering public supports to fight the problem.
