Yip Yew Chong

CONCEPT OF ARTWORK

The Tiger, half-submerged in water, can be interpreted in many ways. It may be a reminder that continuing deforestation not only robs the Tiger of its homeland and life but also that of ours (human), with floods and rising sea levels. On a more cheerful side, we may simply view the beautiful Tiger as enjoying the clean and green waters of the Singapore River, the beautiful setting of this installation.
