Guest entry by Vanessa Yeo, who also took the photos: "This pair of marble sculptures are sculpted in a style that is recognisably Han Sai Por's. Many of her sculptures depict enlarged and stylised plants and are inspired by her intimate relationship with nature."

About The Art
The pair of sculptures represents the abundant growth of flora, an enrichment of the eco-system chat stimulates and provides energy for all living things. The artwork is hewn from "Han Bai Yu" which is a stone that is indigenous to China's Yunnan region and has close similarities to White Jade. Its symmetrical, rounded perfection of form is symbolic of life and growth. The form bears reference to Singapore as the Garden City that continuously sprouts and flourishes.
