Harmony in Heritage

By Leong Sijun, Artzillions

Sijun portrays Singapore's rich cultural heritage, where diverse traditions come together in harmony. The fusion of Chinese, Malay, and Peranakan influences reflects the nation's multicultural identity, celebrating unity in diversity. The bright colours and detailed patterns symbolise prosperity, resilience, and the harmony between tradition and modernity — values that lie at the heart of Singapore's spirit. Like Singapore itself, this artwork is a tapestry of history and heritage, where the past is honoured while embracing a vibrant and robust future.
