Activated only through interaction between the artwork and the visitors, this work prompts us to think of how our future cities might be powered, and how this might change our lives. As the title Greenroom II: Interstellar Overdrive suggests, we are reminded that within this universe, there are still infinite potential resources and more thoughtful ways of living, still waiting to be discovered. 

With illustrations sprawling across the walls and winding up the four levels of the building, this work brings to life a fantastical storytelling of Singapore’s folklore and an inventive vision of the future. As we journey through vividly animated scenes, a sense of the limitless possibilities of stories yet to be written, and told, abounds. 

For artist Izziyana Suhaimi, sewing and embroidery are meaningful and symbolic ways of enfolding time as well as the creativity and actions of the maker. Her installation invites visitors to create small objects using textiles, which capture their thoughts about the future of the country. Over time, the artwork becomes a collective tapestry of dreams, weaving together our shared future.
