Introduction


'Travelling Through The Tropical Rainforest'

This work consists of six large sculptures resembling tropical palm trees, and is an air sculpture created against the backdrop of an urban landscape.

It symbolically expresses the interaction between nature, the city, and the environment in the changing landscape of the city. By enlarging the size of the work to an ultra-large scale, it encourages viewers to newly recognize the delicate beauty of nature that is usually overlooked, and conveys messages about conservation and environmental protection that are repeatedly addressed in the artist's work.


About the Artist

Born in 1943, trained in fine arts and landscape architecture, she delicately captures the value of preserving flora and fauna and natural heritage that can easily be forgotten in a rapidly changing modern urban environment, and creates elegant stone sculptures with organic forms inspired by nature. She has exhibited internationally, and her works are widely recognized in Singapore Changi Airport terminals, public spaces, international institutions, and private collections. In 1995, she was awarded the Singapore Arts and Culture Medal for her outstanding contribution to the arts.
