Constructed using hollow pipes and metal joints, this interactive installation invites people to listen to the sound of their own voices travelling through its resonant tubes. Responding to the bustle of urban life in Singapore, the artwork offers city-dwellers a meditative experience that calls for greater awareness of one’s own thoughts, and alludes to the public park’s role as a space that sustains the health of its community.
