@ fleong005

In our first class, we received out brief: Create something that would fit on the glass window of the hospital and consider its relationship with the viewer, that’s what we would tasked to do. During the field trip to the hospital, here are the things I noticed about the space we were supposed to design for.

The space was airy and Read more →

@ Project

Based on the second critique, I made a few edits to my design. Instead of using earthy colours, I limited the colours to cool colours, which would be very easily associated with water, a straightforward symbol for calm and tranquillity.

With these designs, I decided to take it to the next level by playing with the transparent material. I made incisions into many Read more →

SALT SCANNER 9000 I mean I tried to use the salt to create the effect of pollen but I didn’t really think about how the idea of salt could kill a plant would be conflicting. Now I know. But also the effect was kinda cool so hey why not.

@ summer dreamers

After the first task, I decided to focus on the themes/subjects of local flavour and animals, and came up with an idea to merge them together.

People tend to find comfort in familiarity. Even though we may find the common daily scenes of the Singapore neighbourhood extremely ordinary and nothing out of the special – like HDB void decks, wet marketplaces, Read more →

Tittle: Wings of Hope

Knowing that Ng Teng Feng hospital is design to give patient the benefit (perk) of having outdoor view of nature, so I want to keep that aspect hence I decided to create artwork that doesn’t block the entire window. So working towards the aspect of nature, I will use flowers & cloud & environment. Knowing the environment Read more →

@ fiefyefoefum

After the initial experimentation with abstract compositions, I was dissatisfied with what I came up with and hence decided to branch into more narrative-based compositions.

I came up with a basic composition of a character within an imaginary landscape to create a dreamy atmosphere that the viewer could immerse within. To frame the image, I used the idea of a window-within-a-window by Read more →
