Paintings instead of words

Wong Yan Kwai's exhibition
Location: HKU museum
Acrylic paint on canvas
Acrylic paint on bible

Why he painted on the page of bible...
He wanted to accompany his friend who was in hospital but refused to be visited
That friend reads bible.
Instead of using words, he painted on the pages of the bible . His paintings were 'embedded' in Lamentations.
The colours tell the stories.
