CHINESE NEW YEAR LIGHT-UP 2017
2016 - present
Team: Jonathan Ng, Jeremiah Hadi, Jun Wen Loo, Wen Zhen Seah, Daniel Yong, Jennifer Gautama, Grace Wong, Erica Ang, Chew Cheng York, Zhiqiang Zhao
In light of Chinese New Year 2017: Year of the Rooster, and in collaboration with Chinatown Festivals Organising Committee, we were tasked to design street lanterns along the 400-meter stretch of Eu Tong Sen Street and South Bridge Road.
​
The concept of our design revolves around the moral values inculcated in a traditional Chinese childhood, as anthropomorphised by the roosters transitioning from eggs, to chicks, to roosters, and to the fully-fledged, gigantic rooster perched at the end of the road. The neighbourhood will also be adorned with idiosyncratically Chinese elements: peonies, paper lanterns, and plum blossoms, creating an enchanting environment that transports passersby to an entirely different place and time.
​
My main role in this team is to design the main rooster. This encompasses artist's impressions, technical drawings and schematics that relate to the design of the big rooster.
