‘It’s often said that the people make a nation, but I feel that our city’s skyline also speaks volumes. This pieces personifies the past structure as they co-exist with current and future ones.’
‘I was exploring the idea of (an also paying tribute to) Singapore as a garden city, particularly the beautiful improbability of man-shaped nature within an urban city.’
‘I used People’s Park Complex as the backdrop. It’s neither new nor fancy, but it embodies a small island growing into nationhood when it was built in the ’70s.’
