Public Art: Singapore Soul sculpture

Sculptor: © Jaume Plensa (Spanish)

Date Unveiled: 2011

Description: The Singapore Soul sculpture represents the unity and harmony of the people and multiculturalism of Singapore. The steel sculpture is of a sitting figure with knees tucked in. If you look closely the sculpture is made up of words representing the Chinese, Tamil, English and Malay languages. You can even walk inside the sculpture and be embraced by the letters and languages. Some of the words are “unity”, “Country” and “happiness”. At night the sculpture glows white.

Location: The Singapore Soul sculpture is located outside the Ocean Financial Centre, 10 Collyer Quay, Singapore.
