Another artist said her team focused on diversity and what each team member loved about Singapore, resulting in an artwork delineated by Singapore’s borders that contains odes to the diverse community here.
Describing the piece, SG Enable volunteer Justine Anne Yeo Jia Lyn said: “The diversity artwork encompasses a majority of parts of Singapore, so like the greenery, the buildings, the transportation, the people and housing. Things that we’re grateful for and things that really define home for us in Singapore.
“And making it all come together is really our interpretation of our home, our Singapore. I think that’s what’s really special about the design.”
Ms Yeo, a 20-year-old student at Nanyang Polytechnic, said the artwork was her way of giving back to the country.
“I think it’s just our ode to Singapore… what Singapore has done for us, like given us such a nice home and everything. It’s our way of giving back, to see our designs being carried around by other people, they are carrying our interpretation of Singapore and everyone else’s, and I hope that they relate to it.”
Another piece, which came in the shape of Singapore’s national flower, Vanda Miss Joaquim, is aptly named “Blooming Singapore”.
One of seven artists involved in its conception is Mr Lim Kay Choong, 34, who shared the significance of his participation in the process. Mr Lim has a physical disability and goes to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
He drew the Singapore Flyer and the airport control tower for his team’s design.
