A Cultural Bloom (Paper Sculpture)

Commissioned Work for DFS Galleria Singapore

This work, Cultural Bloom, is commissioned for DFS Galleria (Singapore) at 25 Scotts Rd for their Fall-Winter 2013 Visual Merchandising Campaign. This project is collaborated with Lim Jit Hwang, with help from Shen Foo. We are inspired from subjects of cultural masks from our 3 major ethnic groups (Chinese, Indian and Peranakan) as well as our national flower Orchid. It is a depiction of our national identity with cultural richness. It is on-site at level 2 of DFS Galleria Singapore.
