Art story:
JOYS OF JOO CHIAT: Pretty Joo Chiat residential shophouses with Plumeria blooms are a living legacy of Singapore’s Peranakan culture.As a pretty Joo Chiat shophouse adorned with Plumeria blooms, I stand as a living legacy of Singapore's vibrant Peranakan culture. I am an ornamental shophouse fashioned between 1889 and 1920. In the artwork "JOY–樂," my story comes to life. Alongside me, a Nyonya in kebaya lights up a small stringed firecracker, her actions evoking memories of a time when our neighborhood was alive with cultural celebrations. Cats and dogs laze amidst feathered birds, their presence adding to the playful scene. Coffee tray drawn by PWD Douglas.
