Waves of Playful Connection

By Siow Kent Kok Philip, MINDS Regional Hub (Woodlands)

"Waves of Playful Connection" presents a striking ocean scene created through a collage of layered textures and bold colours. A bright red dolphin leaps into the air while a darker whale swims below, surrounded by smaller marine elements. The contrasting colours and forms highlight individuality among the shared ocean space that brings all elements together in harmony. The movement of the waves suggests energy, rhythm, and playfulness, reflecting how play can take place in many forms and environments. This artwork conveys how play connects people across differences, creating opportunities for interaction, understanding, and joy.
