Friendship

First placed in Singapore: 2010

Youth Olympic Park, Marina Bay

Patron: Youth Olympic Games 2010 - Made possible with sponsorship from Deloitte

This is a mural that forms part of the decoration at the Youth Olympic Park. I was hesitating about including it, but clearly it is meant to last as long as the park. There are other elements to include, but I had a decent photo of the "photolandscape" mural. Artist not credited, though the individual photographers are credited in a label attached to the work.

Text of the Label:

[Singapore 2010 logo] Friendship "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part,"- Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games This installation is made up of photos of more than 3,000 athletes who formed lasting friendships through Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. These athletes competed in 26 Olympic sports and participated in a Culture and Education Programme. Through the 12 days of the Games, athletes learned about and expressed the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect. These photos, contributed by a group of young volunteer photographers, capture the inspiring and memorable moments experienced by the athletes. Made possible with sponsorship from Deloitte.
