Hearts of Singapore

By Kevin Lim Guoyang, Singapore Association for Mental Health

Singapore has always been a nation of creativity, preserving traditions, whilst constantly reimagining and creating them. In earlier days, this spirit was seen in the intricate floral motifs of Nonya-designed tingkats and kuehs, and in the elegance of the Singapore Airlines kebaya, a national icon of design and identity. Looking ahead, this creative energy continues to evolve. The future of Singaporean art and culture may be shaped by emerging technologies such as robots and drones, to AI, offering new tools for expression and innovation. Tradition and technology, past and future, exist here as a seamless, ongoing journey of imagination.
