Voyage of Icons
Voyage of Icons is an animated projection mapping artwork that reimagines Singapore’s local folklore as a fluid, ever-evolving tapestry. Instead of literal historical retelling, the artwork weaves together a dynamic mix of familiar cultural icons, echoing how myths are often naturally formed through shared memories.
Utilising a whimsical illustrative style, the artwork transforms the facade of the National Museum of Singapore into a joyful visual journey. Audiences of all ages are invited to spot familiar fragments of their heritage and piece together their own vibrant narratives, celebrating the diverse voices that shape Singapore's stories.
