Muse Food – Hong Kong And Unexpected Art

These stairs in front of a park in Hong Kong was artwork the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I didn’t expect to see.

Many officials in other cities would have left the stairs a plain, rather ugly gray, the color of the cement. That would ‘save money.’ It would be simpler to maintain. There’s less risk of it turning out terribly.

Hong Kong administrators allowed an artist to use it as a canvas. And that says a lot about Hong Kong and the people living there. They value art. They value beauty. They care enough to make their surroundings gorgeous.

Your description of your story’s setting communicates a lot also. It sets the mood. It conveys the values of the beings living there…or the absence of beings.

Setting is a character. Use it to better tell your story.
