Showcase at the POP TOY SHOW event, Singapore - A Collector of Happy Things.

Hunting High And Low For The Moon Rabbit

Pairing of painting with sculpture

The Moon Rabbit, a timeless symbol of devotion and celestial mystery, offers a quiet lesson: the answers we seek often aren’t found in relentless pursuit, but in the gentle realisation that what we need has always been around us. There’s an irony in desire: sometimes, the very thing we seek is right beneath our noses. This sculpture explores pareidolia, depicting a boy riding what appears to be a rabbit while searching for a mythical one. It blurs the line between seeker and guide, reminding us that the journey and the destination are often one and the same.

A Collector of Happy Things

The gravity-defying sculptures are essentially "assemblages" of familiar or nostalgic items that are commonplace in Singapore. Each piece serves as a tribute to the small, precious moments of growing up and living in Singapore. Just as every memory is tied to a specific moment in time, each sculpture is paired with a painting that narrates its imagery within the drawing, akin to a causality dilemma. The interplay between sculpture and painting evokes a sense of duality, where both exist in parallel, almost fantastical realities, much like a world seen through a looking-glass.

It has been said that a good life is a collection of happy memories. Throughout our lives, we often accumulate baggage that stays with us for a long time. We can choose to be a beast of burden or be a collector of happy things.
