Publisher Note
"Be Water" is a famous phrase used by Bruce Lee to explain the basis of his martial technique. " Be Water" today is the name of the tactic used by Hong Kong protesters when they take to the streets to protest.
Since 9 June 2019, millions have been occupying the streets of the former British colony to demand the withdrawal of an extradition law that would endanger the city’s autonomy. From the very beginning, propaganda had labeled demonstrators as a group of spoiled English-speaking university students. How was it possible that the streets of the city were filled only by students? That was what I wanted to tell. Diversity. I started, in August 2019, to portray the protesters during the protests in the street isolating them, putting them in front of a white background. In this way I thought I could better highlight the diversity within this movement without leaders.
