Artist Statement:
When I imagine a sustainable future in Singapore, I find myself looking at the theme of happiness. By investing in the people of Singapore, enabling them to be happy and healthy, and to thrive in all aspects of their lives, would help to create a caring community and environment. I envision a Singapore where the past and the future can meld together in the present, where the city is at one with nature. In this environment, the people, safe in the knowledge that they can imagine any future for themselves, are inspired to reach for the sky.

Artist Statement:
My artwork is inspired by my background in wildlife conservation. Over the years, I have seen many of our nature areas being converted into nature parks.
