Artwork Description
Pockets of green can be found all over the sunny Island of Singapore.
Over the years these green pockets have been well cared for and cultivated. As a result, the green spaces of Singapore continue to expand. This is not by chance but rather all a part of a vision called The Green Plan. The map of Singapore, highlighting the pockets of green, is shown in the bottom left of the artwork. The Green Plan is the document that lays out the blueprint of what Singapore’s green spaces will be developed into in the years to come. This future expansion is a continuation of what Lee Kuan Yew started. He had the foresight and vision to realise that green spaces were essential for the overall success of the nation. By cultivating nature, Singapore can truly thrive.
Floating Islands speaks of a beautiful light-filled world, lush greenery, fluttering little sunbirds and brightly coloured tropical flowers are shown. Sparkling light sustains life, and clouds meander in a dreamy state. The little island pockets show flourishing trees that morph into green painterly drops of rain.
Like the vision for The Garden City that aspires to new heights, the vertical nature of the artwork climbs upward. At the very top of the artwork, a HDB block peeps through the trees, a reminder that it is not only the plants that have grown but homes for the people have also been created. A tangible example of Singapore’s success story. A story that stands proud and tall like a grand old tree.
