"Contradictory" compare and contrast nature with urban. It is an extension of self identity, portraying me in an environment and how I view the environment. It shows the importance of economy and the rapid speed of urbanization, where large area of Singapore evolved from nature or rural to urban over the past 3 decades.
not 100% Nature
"Urban" is represented by layers of map tracing, overlayed to form an image of a tree. It symbolised urbanization and human effort in conserving nature areas.
Although conserved, nature reserves still suffer from certain extend of human intervention (footpath, street lighting, bench...) and "urbanization" (tree-top walk, boardwalk...).
"green" Urban
"Nature" is represented by layers of floral tracing, overlayed to form an image of a building. It symbolised urbanization and green effort in conserving nature areas.
Despite urbanization, nature is recreated through the construction of parks, gardens and 'green' architecture (eco-building, green carpark, roof-top garden...). Nevertheless numerous efforts, imitation is always fake.
