Echoes of the Forest (Art Installation) I Didier Ng and Cherie Ng
Close your eyes and let your imagination run wild as you find yourself whisked away to the lush rainforests of Singapore. Amidst the symphony of rustling leaves and chirping birds, there's an unexpected twist – the distant beat of drums! But not just any drums, these are the heart-pounding rhythms of traditional Malay drums! Let’s dance to the beat of nature's drumline, where the graceful mousedeer prances alongside the pulsating cadence of the drums. It's a celebration of Singapore's rich tapestry of arts, culture, and biodiversity, all wrapped up in the playful embrace of cardboard creativity.
