Collection of Bethesda CARE Centre

Finding Oneself in Another, from Seed to Bloom is a diptych mosaic created by members of Bethesda Care Centre’s FAME Club, many of whom live with mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. The artwork traces a collective journey of self-discovery, healing and connection.

In this work, the first panel depicts growth from a young seedling, symbolising the unfolding of identity. The other panel features Singapore’s national flower— the Vanda Miss Joaquim—in full bloom and an emblem of resilience. The subject matter of this piece pays tribute to the courage and strength needed to undertake this journey, and the vital role of a community in fostering care, belonging and mutual support.
