| Positive Attracts explores the belief that the optimism of our mental state of mind (4th Dimension) can effect a positive outcome of our physical state (3rd Dimension). The installation consists of the Artist's 9 favourite optimistic visionaries (Heroes) who have used their mental state to effect positive outcomes in their physical world. Inspired by songs such as "Rainbow Connection" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow", these Heroes incubate dreams and will "deposit positivity" to the public as they draw near to the Heroes. Famous quotes written at base of each Heroes will enable the public to guess who they are. |
 |
| The installation explores the meaning of touch in life and art. The sentence, "Touch. Do Not Please The Work of Art" is applied on the long wall using phosphorescent paint. In the day, only the title of the work as a protrusion on the wall is visible and touchable. At night, stroboscope spotlights highlight the passage for an instant every 30 seconds. The words light up and passers-by, when touching, looking or just passing the artwork, will cast their silhouettes and shadows onto the installation, leaving behind an instant personal graffiti. |
 |
| Animal Tree is a lamp pole that can be installed in any public space. The shed of the lamp is composed of 512 pieces of orange happy bears. The operation is simple; it offers shade during daytime and emits light at night. The Animal Tree promotes the idea that the future can rely on simplicity and emotions, rather than complex electrical circuits which require a lot of maintenance. Simply pay more attention to joyfulness as well as to aesthetics and technology. |
 |
| My Public Garden is a luxurious glowing garden, a playful and festive park full of fanciful plants and enchanted flowers. A total of 29 giant plant-like light sculptures of 6 different varieties will make up the bouquets adorning the site.Marina Bay will be transformed into an imaginary landscape from an artist's sketchbook, where giant wild plants bloom in the darkness, glowing softly with an elegant luminosity. It is an enchanted forest, beckoning the public to enjoy an intimate stroll among the immense, alluring bouquets. The light sculptures are large artworks, the smallest being 3.5m tall & the largest at 11m, visible from far away, creating a beautiful landscape even from a distance, offering an interplay of perspectives. |
 |
| Imagine the jellyfish deciding to leave our polluted oceans and having a refreshing dip in the clean waters of Marina Bay before escaping into the universe as 'reverse UFOs', thereby for one last time trying to entertain and challenge all of us to be more aware of the consequences of our extravagance. The artists created these interactive and imaginative light objects providing an opportunity for visitors to 'grab' the jellyfish's tentacles and keep them on Earth. |
 |
| The crouching digital tigers combine ancient lantern making methods with cutting edge digital design and fabrication technology, bringing east and west together through tradition and innovation.The tigers are inspired by "zhezhi", a Chinese term for paper folding, more popularly known by its Japanese name "origami". In producing this artwork, traditional Chinese lantern makers in Sichuan province, where lantern making has been taking place for over 800 years, and local artisans were consulted. The Digital Origami Tigers are currently travelling the world as part of the World Wildlife Fund's Year of the Tiger campaign. |

Poetry for a Diver
Breath-hold divers such as the Ama
Exhibit keen autonomic control
With bradycardia and vasoconstriction
Oxygen conservation is the goal
To dive to great depths comes an increase in pressure
And scuba gear is required.
Care must be taken during ascent and descent
Otherwise barotrauma will conspire.
Upon descont nitrogen dissolves in the tissues
And if fast ascent you do not contend,
Nitrogen bubbles will form in the joints
And produce a condition called the bends.
So while leisurely scuba diving in an ocean of pleasure
Beware of 'raptures of the deep',
You may feel euphoric but its nitrogen narcosis
And integrity of the brain you want to keep.

Handling Criticisms
How do you handle criticisms when they are displayed before you with different intensities, ranging from mild assertions to stinging words thrown straight in your face?
Stop Being Defensive and Start Examining Yourself
In all cases, criticism usually arises out of something that you did or didn’t do. The most difficult task is to separate the facts from the emotions. The next step is to objectively look at the results and ask how you played a part of it. For example, if you were criticised for making bad decisions that caused poor results, examine how you made it happened. This is because if you were to instantly be defensive, self evaluation will not occur at all.
A cognitive psychological tool called Johari window also states that everyone has a blind spot. This represents information that a person is not aware about themselves but others are aware of it. Therefore, it is imperative to listen what the criticism is and find out whether there is any truth in that statement.
Change Yourself
Change does not usually happen at a cognitive level but usually happens at an emotional level. For example, even if you are overweight and know that you have to lose weight, you might not be doing anything significant about it. This is the cognitive level. However, when things happen at an emotional level, the results might be longer lasting.
So, ask yourself the tough question what do you need to change? By not making a decision is also making a decision not to do anything. Change only comes in when you demonstrate the resolve and absolute desire to make it happen (and of course, take MASSIVE ACTION on it).
It is also good to thing about the good outcomes from the positive change in your life. Know that everything comes with a cost, even with change. So, discipline and intense resolution is required to make the change.
Understand that Criticism is inevitable
Criticism; whether it is given with true intentions or destructive in nature, are always inevitable.
Here are some questions to determine if criticism is helpful:
- Who said it? Sometimes harsh words from a wise man are better than the loving kisses of fools.
- What was the spirit behind it? Is it to help or tear me down?\
- What is the truth? I need to determine if what was true and how I should address it.
Let go and move on
What happens when you feel that after much self examination, there is really nothing wrong with yourself? There are people who will constantly grew angry and frustrated because of what other people said to them. They are not able to let go and move on in their lives.
Secure people can see that they are fallible and know what their weaknesses are. The good thing is that they make a conscious decision not to get bonded by the negativity and move ahead fresh. If you keep harping about the past, you will never be able to take on the new possibilities in your life.
John Maxwell in an article shares that “while we are growing up, a lot of us spend a good deal of time worrying about what the world thinks of us. By the time we reach 60, we realize the world wasn’t paying much attention.”
Conclusion:
Some of the best people that entered into your life were your critics, not friends. Treat criticisms with a certain respect, learn from it and then move on in your life

Ghost of You and Me
What am I supposed to do
With all these blues
Haunting me, everywhere, no matter what I do
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I cant let go
When will this night be over
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
Seen a lot of broken hearts go sailing by
Phantom ships, lost at sea
And one of them is mine
Raising my glass, I sing a toast to the midnight sky
I wonder why
The stars don't seem to guide me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
The ghost of you and me
When will it set me free
I hear the voices call
Following footsteps down the hall
Trying to save what's left of my heart and soul
Watching the candle flicker out in the evening glow
I can't let go
When will the night be over
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
-Nice song but I just found out what are the words in it-
