Artwork Description

The Jungle Boys showcases a textile that most Singaporean men would be familiar with. This is the camouflaged gear that the army boys wear during their National Service. Singapore is a country that is made of so many different cultures. When I’ve given myself the challenge of finding a textile that is iconically Singaporean I initially thought of Chinese Silk, Indonesian Batik & Indian Saris but I was not completely satisfied with these choices. Yes, they are textiles that you may see here on a daily basis, they represent the different cultural groups, but they are not uniquely Singaporean. When looking for an identity that is truly Singaporean I pinpointed two. This artwork “Jungle Boys”, celebrates one of them. If you would like to know what the second textile is look for my twin artwork - “The Singapore Girl”.
