Ethereality
Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2023
Winner of the Fullerton Hotel Facade
Software: Adobe Photoshop
Created on: September 2022
Ethereality combines the words ethereal and reality. Ethereal meaning extremely delicate and light in a way that seems to not be of this world. And so, I wanted the title to mean that this is a beautiful, delicate reality that we are living because we have People of Good like Grant Pereira and Organizations of Good like Children’s Cancer Foundation. Ethereality is a proposed design to be projected on Fullerton Hotel for 2023's Marina Bay Countdown Singapore.
I am inspired by Grant Pereira’s devotion to Singapore’s botanic industry and touched by the heartfelt efforts from the Children’s Cancer Foundation. That is why I decided to combine those two stories to create illustrations of children having flowers for hair. Each flower represents emotions on which we should adhere for those children suffering from cancer, starting with youth (buttercup), precious (blue poppy), growth (dandelion), love (camellia), happiness (daisy), faith (aster), sympathy (peace lily), gratitude (hydrangea), devotion (lavender) and optimism (pink sakura). These children are in a beautiful wonderland to show how much the Children’s Cancer Foundation supported them to flourish, just like the beautiful gardens Grant have devoted his time to.

Software: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator
Created on: September 2022
I created a series called Stellar for the Kidney Dialysis Foundation's 2023 Calendar. This series shows that we can break boundaries to achieve greater things together, that is why I have sea animals swimming in the sky which is out of their natural habitat. I also illustrated them as a pair to show that they could not have done it alone and how we should always support each other. This illustration is based on the theme Going Beyond. So, I have a total of 12 illustrations for the months and also created calendar layouts for each month.
