Mixed media installation

Collection of The Salvation Army William Booth Corps

This vibrant installation features a pot as its central element. Inside, various types of food represent the nation’s rich and diverse ethnic heritage. The pot rests on a foundation of rocks that embody Singapore’s shared values—Boldness, Resilience, Openness and Multiculturalism. Surrounding it are four children from different ethnic groups, each holding tools that reflect their career aspirations.

On the surface of the pot, the landscape of Singapore unfolds—from traditional attap houses to contemporary Housing & Development Board (HDB) flats—interspersed with imaginative future dwellings. A rainbow handle arches overhead, symbolising the hopes and dreams of people, and is inscribed with the children’s heartfelt messages for Singapore’s enduring harmony.
