Art in Transit: “Farther Shores” by Bruce Quek
It wasn’t so long ago when the sea would have been above you, and no one had yet named this place Bayshore. In time to come, perhaps the shoreline will be elsewhere once again, and the very sense of what this place is will continue to evolve.
‘Farther Shores’ takes images of our Bayshore as it is and blends them with other places that share the same name. It also shares about the imagined possibilities of what Bayshore may once have been and what it may yet be. This is not to disorient us in time and space, but to broaden our sense of who we are, what we have been, and what we may become.

The station now has cladding!
Some news! This station was the first of the TEL4 stations to get tiles and designs on the outer walls! It got those designs in Feb 2022.
I guess 2 of its exits will only open in tandem with the future developments around it
