A Red Box in a public place

It is a Red Box in display at the rim of Shatin Central Park. Obviously it is a piece of Art work designed and made by an artist.

These are what I feel about this bright red box:

[1] It is a large box which looks rather like a room.

[2] It looks as if it were a craft made from “Lego” blocks.

[3] It has basically a floor and a ceiling, plus two walls.

[4] Its windows are open, so rain and wind can go in any time. It is not waterproof, but good in ventilation.

[5] The “room” is so designed that there are small platforms which serve as tables for meals or benches to sit.

[6] No bed is available here.

[7] No lights can be seen inside, so the evening meal will be eaten in the dark.

[8] There are holes at the ceiling to enable moonlight to pass through. Limited number of stars can be seen through these holes.

From my observations, this Red Box is just for fun, for temporary rest or meals, but if anyone goes inside, he/she will be asked to go away immediately. Remember, it is just a piece of Art.

What an impression from you, probably this is the intention of the artist concerned, to leave it to users to imagine what it is.
