2025
Acrylic on canvas
300 × 200 cm

Collection of St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Aljunied), St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Buangkok), St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Henderson), St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Queenstown), St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Taman Jurong), St. Andrew’s Nursing Home (Tampines North) and St. John’s - St. Margaret’s Nursing Home

Residents from seven St. Andrew’s Nursing Homes came together to share their creativity in this artwork. As part of the production process, the residents explored various paint application techniques to create a patterned background. Inspired by Singapore’s 60th anniversary, the canvas features a palette of red, white, silver and gold, symbolising courage, peace, wisdom and hope.

The pictorial elements are based on individual drawings contributed by the residents, with their creative expressions rendered within this unified mural. Throughout the canvas, shapes such as the crescent moon and stars from the Singapore flag appear alongside motifs drawn from nature and symbols of peace and love.
