Ethereality

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.
