Art in Transit: “WALK” by Ang Sookoon
‘WALK’ encapsulates the essence of fluid tranquillity and extends its company to those who pass by while making their daily journeys. Crafted to look like it is from a single block of plasticine, the sculpture preserves subtle imprints from its packaging. Delicate traces are left by the artist’s fingertips and her childhood memory of creating plasticine sculptures with her sisters during school vacations.
Amidst the perpetual rhythm of the cityscape, the artwork offers a moment of tactile reflection and a nod to the shared pilgrimage of city dwellers.
The sculpture thus emerges not merely as a static creation but as a dynamic narrative that serves as a symbol of life’s journey, paying tribute to the people who have walked through life and contributed to the tapestry of Marine Parade’s rich history.
