Awakening delves into Singapore's unique island history, sparked by an epiphany and a metaphorical dive into a shipwreck. The artwork explores the folkloric dimensions of this little island nation, examining the significant role of its port — a destiny foisted upon it by historical currents. More profoundly, Awakening serves as a heartfelt celebration of the diverse people and vibrant cultures that have been drawn to Singapore's shores by the unstoppable tides of trade. It's a contemplative piece that reflects on the past to illuminate the present identity, emphasising the intricate tapestry woven by human movement and commercial exchange.
