About the Work
sun rise || sun set aims to provoke contemplation and reflection amidst the progression of time. The shadows cast by the undulating roof onto the side columns and by the columns to the steps, change and move slowly to portray time. The transitional and alternating shadows cast are tranquil yet mysterious. The structure is intended to provide an interactive space for one to walk through and explore their shadows, both a reflection of self and light.
The work is a design collaboration between Mapletree Investments and the Department of Architecture, School of Design and Environment, National University of Singapore (NUS).
