Invitation to participate in 'Seeds of Life' artwork

What do trees have to do with Singapore's immigration history? Artist Alecia Neo is seeking participants for an upcoming site-specific public artwork, which celebrates the different generations of people who have made Singapore their home.

More from the artist:
"Jurong Hill was well known for its Garden of Fame that featured about 30 trees planted by visiting dignitaries in the 1970s. These dignitaries came from 22 different countries, namely, the UK, Scotland, USA, Germany, Canada, Indonesia, The Philippines, Thailand, Iran, Japan, China, India, Luxembourg, Bangladesh, Barbados, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Australia and the former Yugoslavia. The trees they planted were either Tembusu trees or Cerbera (Pong Pong Trees). In honour of Singapore's rich immigrant history, I would like to create portraits of individuals from these 22 countries for the final artwork."

Selected participants will be informed by January 2024.
