The Melting Pot

The Melting Pot
Indian Heritage Centre, Singapore
2015

The form unfolds images, recognizable motifs, symbols and speaks of a heritage of the South Asian migrant communities that traveled to Malaya and Singapore. Simple yet profound. The artwork represents a confluence. a cultural 'melting pot' of peoples from the region who put down their roots in time.

The sculpture Is, inspired by the kudam (Tamil: water pot) used for collecting water in south India.

While the flowing lines represent ideas and trade networks the rings of symbols allude to the cultural associations of the South Asian communities that migrated to Singapore
