Take a walk through the meadow with me is an immersive, interactive installation that responds to movement and human presence. As you get close to the artwork, flowers begin to glow and music follows. As more people gather, more lights appear, and melodic notes play in tandem — the sensory experience intensifies as the crowd grows.

Once-discarded acrylic waste has now been shaped into flowers, and industrial fragments have found renewed purpose in this garden, creating a backdrop where collective memories take shape.

This installation invites visitors to reflect on the hidden beauty in discarded items, and explore how human presence can co-create a landscape of renewal, connection and transformation.

It also resonates with Singapore’s ongoing journey as a “Nation by Design”, where thoughtful design can help us shape meaningful experiences and solutions for a more sustainable future. “Nation by Design” is part of DesignSingapore Council’s initiatives for SG60 and celebrates Singapore’s transformation into a liveable and loveable city by design.
