Singapaws

By Thaddeus Chew, Extraordinary People Limited

"Singapaws" is a surreal dance of chaos and calm, where Singapore Specials, zoo animals, and native wildlife roam a battlefield of dinosaurs and military forces, embodying the city's unique blend of nature and urbanism. Amid the battle between military forces and dinosaurs, these animals stand as quiet witnesses, symbols of resilience and grace. In this clash of nature and progress, the animals remind us that even in the wildest change, the heart of Singapore’s natural spirit endures—calm, observant and full of quiet strength.
