Leaving Impressions
Challenge
Singapore is one of the world’s most densely populated and expensive urban environments. Yet it’s also a City in a Garden, nestled amid the lush greenery of over 370 regional and neighbourhood parks. There is so much reward from looking up and around rather than spending time looking down at a screen.
Solution
Using the time-honoured method of printing directly from real leaves to capture their silhouettes and textures. An exhibition at Singapore Botanic Gardens, asks us to look up, look again, and look closer at our relationship with nature.

Time spent away from our screens in a park leaves a lasting impression on our imagination. It's a reminder to prioritise important for body and mind.
Leaving Impressions creates a smile in the mind, that’s the immediate goal. But it might encourage others to think "That is so simple, I can do that" and they should! Creativity is at its most inspiring when it is inclusive.
