The space around a swing is very private. This sculpture makes this space visible. Riding a swing is a private intimate affair. You sit on a seat designed for one and glide through air propelled by your own weight. With gravity as your only accomplice, you indulge in the reward of isolation offered by this movement in midair. This sculpture gives a shape to this isolation. The spatial expansion and contraction formed by the undulating steel ribbons heighten the sense of movement as the swing glides through the enclosure. It takes its form from this motion to create a spatial cavity; one that only Nature can enter. Within, one shares with Nature a rare intimacy.
Set in the revamped parkscape which celebrates movement with its rolling hills and meandering waterways, this enclosure for a specific movement simultaneously partakes yet serves as an observatory of its flows.
This sculpture won the 1st prize at the 4th CDL Sculpture Awards and was subsequently comissioned and installed at the revamped Bishan Park.
