Eye of Infinity

Public Artwork by an Australian artist Lindy Lee

“Eye of Infinity, located at the entrance of the Peak Tram Central Terminus, is the first glimpse of the transcendent and expansive experiences of the Peak,” – Lindy Lee

Lindy Lee is an Australian artist whose practice explores her Chinese ancestry through Taoism and Ch’an (Zen) Buddhism – philosophies that see humanity and nature as inextricably linked. Her artwork embodies the intimate connections between human existence and the cosmos. With a practice spanning over three decades, Lindy Lee has a well-establi shed reputation in Australia, and enjoys widespread international recognition, exhibiting in Canada, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Singapore.

The sculpture is inspired by Hong Kong's "spirit of ascension"

Lindy describes her inspiration for the Eye of Infinity - “Hong Kong’s cityscape is unique. The architectural splendour, with its striking verticality is cradled in lush verdant subtropical mountain rainforest. This rich green natural abundance extends throughout the archipelago of islands which sparkle like jewels in the South China Sea. The psyche of Hong Kong is one of ascension. The Peak is one of Hong Kong’s ultimate summits offering one of the world’s most sublime vistas of city, sea and sky. Eye of Infinity is inspired by this spirit of ascension. There is no city on the planet that embodies the intimate connection between heaven and earth, sea and sky as Hong Kong does.

Eye of Infinity
First we are gathered in, Like fish from many seas and a thousand oceans who swim Willingly into the net. Torus, the shape of the universe, Seed, the shape of life. An eye that endlessly seeks eternity. Onward, we go forward, together held close, contained, we ascend rising through great towers, through verdant mountain forests rich with life, the homes of those who walk and creep and swing and slither and swim, and fly. Ever ascending, until finally we are released, spring forth into the magnificent vista: archipelago of light vast cradle of city, sea, and sky Released into the sublime. We who come from many lands and a thousand realms We who are entrusted with infinity We who treasure this.

Eye of Infinity

First we are gathered in,
Like fish from many seas and a thousand oceans who swim
Willingly into the net.

Torus, the shape of the universe,
Seed, the shape of life.
An eye that endlessly seeks eternity.

Onward, we go forward,
together
held close, contained, we ascend
rising through great towers, through verdant mountain forests
rich with life,
the homes of those who walk and creep and swing and slither
and swim, and fly.

Ever ascending, until finally
we are released, spring forth
into the magnificent vista:
archipelago of light
vast cradle of city, sea, and sky

Released into the sublime.

We who come from many lands and a thousand realms
We who are entrusted with infinity
We who treasure this.
