Chan’s inspiration for Pallet in Repose (Resurfacer) came from witnessing construction workers breaking off a huge number of asphalt pieces from a hard tennis court at the Indian Recreation Club in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. This scenario revealed layers of different substances which provoked an uncanny mixture of an archaeological site and a post-apocalyptic landscape. Pallets, such as those used in Chan’s sculptures, have also a particular meaning in the history of Hong Kong, a city which first gained global significance as a global trading port. During her childhood, the artist grew up overseeing a 24-hour container port in Hong Kong from her apartment window.

Created for economical purposes, the plastic pallets and hard tennis court serve as a ‘surface’ for human activity, and yet share the fate of a limited lifespan of functionality. The discarded asphalt pieces were piled up and readied to be buried underneath a new road. The artist salvaged selected asphalt pieces from the site and integrated them inside of a cube composed by seven plastic pallets standing upright, so as to reveal its manipulated inner structure upon closer inspection.
