A lighting installation entitled "Flowerworks on the Water", presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, is on display from today (September 26) until October 19 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Piazza to celebrate the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, coinciding with the 15th National Games (NG), the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities (NGD) and the 9th National Special Olympic Games (NSOG). The installation features the emblem and adorable mascots Xiyangyang and Lerongrong of the 15th NG, NGD and NSOG to create an iconic landmark for check-in photos, offering a visual feast that blends art and sports.
 
     "Flowerworks on the Water", a lighting installation offering a dynamic visual experience, is designed and created by local multimedia art studio Napp Studio & Architects. With layered sculpturing and vibrant lighting, 13 sport pictograms of the NG, NGD and NSOG shine and dance within circular, triangular, and rhomboid mirrored lightboxes to give a vivid representation of the rhythmic movements and the beauty of dynamism in sports. The installation also transforms torches into huge metallic petals floating on the water, enhanced with lighting effects to resemble brilliant fireworks in the air. In addition, the central emblem and mascots interact with the surrounding lightboxes of dynamic sport pictograms through an interplay of light and shadow, embodying the spirit of "unity, perseverance and celebration".
 
     The display will be lit from 6.30pm to 11pm daily and extended to midnight on the Mid-Autumn Day (October 6). To avoid overcrowding on the Mid-Autumn Day, members of the public are advised to schedule their visits for other dates during the display period. An inclusive performance titled "We Dance, We Care" will also be held on September 28 at 3pm at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Foyer.
 
     In addition to "Flowerworks on the Water", the Mid-Autumn Lantern Carnival 2025 will be held at Victoria Park from September 30 to October 7, featuring dazzling lanterns of different themes. There will also be a wide range of activities at the carnival, including an NG Interactive Zone, a Mid-Autumn Market, a fire dragon dance, traditional handicraft demonstrations, self-service lantern riddles and more.
