Neglected Gardens · 被遗忘的花园

Photoproject statement: Surrounded by the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur are the quiet and neglected gardens, two of them being Taman Tasik Perdana (near Dataran Merdeka) and Bukit Komanwel (at Bukit Jalil). Oddly enough, these gardens in the city are pretty well-maintained although only a few families and joggers would visit them during the weekends. The reason for such neglect is clear when one tried to drive to one these locations - traffic jam. Despite being close, if not within, the city, the ever congested roads and tiresome working lifestyle have lost the urban dwellers' appetite for a taste of nature. This series of photographs are set with an aim to attract more visitors to break the silence of these beautiful places (but don't forget some mosquito repellent, trust me.)

吉隆坡市内许多的花园，都因为交通阻塞和累人的办公生活而冷无访客。这集照片是为了体现出湖滨公园和武吉加里公园的寂静，以及鼓励公众不妨到该地散步休息（别忘了驱蚊油！）。
