Where Curiosity Meets Connection

By Chan Yi Jun Timothy, Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore)

A goldfish moves gracefully through curious currents, its flowing fins tracing playful paths through the water as if inviting others to follow. The scene reflects the spirit of play not only as exploration, but also as connection. Through gentle movement and quiet wonder, the artwork highlights how play brings people together, creating bonds through shared laughter, imagination, and the simple act of experiencing something together.
