"Curious Evergreens" unfolds as a collection of 15 murals meticulously crafted by William Sim and Lush Tan.
These artworks are designed for the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rooms within Pod 2 of Ng Teng Fong General Hospital in Singapore.
Demonstrating the artists' affinity for nature, the series encapsulates a quirkiness within its exploration of natural elements.
Scale of the artwork.
The visual arrangement is meticulously structured, utilising design thinking to gracefully counteract the clinical ambiance of the room's angular corners.
In essence, the murals act as visual windows, introducing the soothing and therapeutic essence of nature into the ICU.
The chosen colour palette is thoughtfully curated, taking into account the impact on a patient's mood and emotions during their stay in the ICU.
Each mural is a testament to the artists' dedication, being hand-painted to ensure a distinctive, one-of-a-kind piece of art.
This project aspires to transform the ICU environment by challenging the conventional perception of ICU wards as sterile and harsh spaces.
"The intention is to inspire hope and optimism among both patients and staff, fostering an environment that transcends the ordinary and nurtures a sense of calm amidst the challenges of the medical setting."
