Roots and Wings

Synopsis

The artwork is a culmination of a series of biodiversity and art workshops conducted by Arterly Obsessed in collaboration with Untamed Paths attended by members of the Kampong Glam community. Participants attended a guided tour around the district to observe the biodiversity in the neighbourhood, followed by a guided art making session to document their walk. The community piece also reflects on the SG60 theme of “Building Our Singapore Together” and invites viewers to ponder about the delicate balance between urbanisation and nature conservation in our island home. Working closely with Trio Packaging, the entire installation is made out of cardboard and the main structure is recyclable using eco-friendly HP inks.
