ABOUT

‘My Mother Says’ is a community engagement workshop that invites the community to collaborate and share their cherished sayings and profound elders’ advice. In this collaboration, participants uncover and preserve the treasured memories of their loved ones by transmuting them into enchanting light installations through the technique of creative typography. 

Embracing the language of art, we become co-creators in this immersive experience, where each installation becomes living tapestries, weaving threads of intergenerational dialogue and strengthening connections between participants. 

The light installations metamorphose into storytelling conduits, inspiring reflections on the timeless wisdom encapsulated in our elders' words. This fosters understanding and kinship between diverse communities, creating a shared collective human experience. 

It not only preserves the pearls of wisdom but also stands as an enchanting testimony to the potential of art to spark conversations, transcend time, and create lasting impressions on the collective human soul.

A group of art enthusiasts hailing from Tampines Changkat embarked on a transformative three-week workshop alongside the artist team, imparting their invaluable life mottos and quotes to all, during the workshops. 

 

Each week, they acquired new knowledge in fields of creative typography where they integrate their  writing styles with their quotes, understanding colour symmetry with the painting of their wood base, and the transformation of their quotes into LED lighting. This project aims to bring together individuals and families in fostering intergenerational dialogues, encouraging conversations and building new relationships. 

 

Their unwavering passions and resolute determination were unparalleled, leaving an indelible mark on the entire experience.
