Art in Transit: “Lieutenant Adnan” by Ho Tzu Nyen

Lieutenant Adnan Saidi was a 27 year old infantry officer whose bravery and eventual sacrifice, in one of the fiercest battles in Singapore’s history, makes him the stuff of legends. This is the Battle of Pasir Panjang, fought against the Japanese during World War Two. Situated in close proximity to the battle site, this artwork at Pasir Panjang station honours the fighting spirit of this war hero, by taking the form of an imaginary film, featuring in the leading, titular role, popular real-life action star, Aaron Aziz. The artwork comprises three sets of images, namely: a vertical centrepiece at the lift shaft, a diptych at both ends of the platform, and a quartet of images at the concourse, near to the station control. The vertical centrepiece takes the form of film-stills that sequentially reconstruct a heroic action, while the platform diptych narrates the life story of Lieutenant Adnan. Finally, the concourse quartet enacts a moment of the battle in the classical style of western ‘history paintings’. These three sets of images are positioned to encourage commuters to actively piece the artwork together through the exploration of the station space, while uncovering a fragment of Singapore’s history.

Gift of Art: “Stride Alongside the Bo-men” by Daisy Boman

Donated by PSA International, 2022. A similar piece is also featured at Shenton Way MRT Station.

The Bo-men transcend race and nationality, connected by the common thread of their shared humanity. Generally displayed in groups, through form and posture they convey a sense of being ‘Alongside’ each other, by striving together towards a shared goal. The sculptures celebrate human potential, resilience and the spirit of collaboration, which echo themes central to the core ethos shared by PSA and Singapore. Daisy Boman is a world-renowned artist who creates unique pieces that pay tribute to the shared bonds between individuals and their potential to create movements of purpose and passion towards a shared vision.

At Pasir Panjang station, similar sculptures stride towards PSA Horizons, leading commuters to the nearby PSA International’s headquarters.
