Growing Through Play

By Leong Chee Choy, MINDS Regional Hub (Woodlands)

"Growing Through Play" presents a vibrant potted plant with long, flowing stems and leaves reaching outward in every direction, reflecting creativity and individuality. Just as a plant flourishes with care and nurturing, the work draws a tender parallel to how people grow through playful experiences that encourage exploration and self-expression. Each leaf represents a different path or ability, a quiet reminder that growth takes many forms. Set against a dotted background humming with energy, the piece speaks to the joy of shared experiences and the strength found within a supportive, inclusive community.
