磚頭一直與抗爭息息相關；作為示威現場常見的抵抗手段，磚頭引證着抗爭者與極權之間的武力不對等；在後街頭抗爭時代，磚頭則突顯了對抗暴政的代價。

Bricks have long been synonymous with protests. As a common weapon of resistance at protest sites, bricks underscore the stark disparity in force between protesters and authoritarian regimes. In the era post-street protests, bricks highlight the cost of confronting tyrannical power.

作品以混凝土磚為概念，參照香港路政處Concrete Paving Blocks Type ‘B’ 標準圖則製作，呎吋與香港街頭地磚完全一樣。每件均由團隊親手倒模，上面有RESIST凹字，並附有有制作編號。

以「拋磚」命名，除了是與抗爭產生直接連結，更希望可以籍著義賣「引玉」，為612人道支援基金帶來捐款。讓作品刺激港人重新思考抗爭成本、代價，以及民主自由的價值同時，能夠為運動帶來實際幫助。

This artwork is conceptualized from concrete bricks, specifically modeled after the Hong Kong Highways Department’s Concrete Paving Blocks Type ‘B’ standard design. Their dimensions are identical to the street bricks found throughout Hong Kong. Each piece is hand-molded by the team, featuring an indented “RESIST” on the surface and comes with a unique production number.

Named “Casting Bricks,” the title not only directly connects to the act of protest but also harbors the hope that through charity sales, it can “lead to gems” – generating donations for the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund. The aim is for the artwork to prompt Hongkongers to reflect anew on the costs of resistance, the price one pays, and the value of democracy and freedom. Simultaneously, it aspires to offer tangible support to the movement.
