Co-Piloting Dreams

By Ng Jun Yao

Soaring through the canvas, two doves serve as living aeroplanes for children, illustrating the boundless nature of shared imagination. Jun Yao uses the doves, which symbolise peace and unity, to represent the harmony found in cooperative play. When children engage in make-believe, they build worlds together, learning to navigate space and storytelling side-by-side. This artwork beautifully conveys how the simple act of dreaming and "flying" together fosters a deep, empathetic connection, bridging any differences through the pure joy of a shared adventure.
