Untitled

This is on of the artworks in 'MADE IN SINGAPORE - THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY'

'MADE IN SINGAPORE - THREE QUARTERS OF A CENTURY' is an exhibition celebrating the 75th Anniversary of Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA).

I choose this artwork 'Untitled' done by Baet Yeok Kuan because the metal plates on the floor were arranged one by one, it catches my attention when i first saw it when compared with other artworks. It is made up of recycle material and not only promote a nostalgic feeling. This artwork portrays a pair of hands carefully to protecting something like children or parents.

Upon reading the author's explaination, I learn that the artwork is relating to childbirth being a highly intensive, emotional moment which involves at least two bodies - mother and child. By recording these emotional moments onto fifty six alumnium plates, this artwork instilled mixed feelings of fear and anxiety, with a little bit of happiness
