Untitled Gathering transforms the simple act of sitting into a reflection on cultural memory, connection and shared agency. Its hand-painted wooden furniture pieces carry batik-inspired motifs. Visitors are invited to sit, move and rearrange the pieces, becoming co-creators of an ever-shifting composition. The work highlights the quiet power of collective action and the everyday gestures that bring people together.
Motifs adapted from batik pieces by Little Nonya Batik and realised with student collaborators from:

About SANTAI
SANTAI is a new series commissioned specially for the tenth edition of Light to Night Singapore. In response to the theme of "The Power in Us" and drawing from the Malay word "santai" (to relax), the series features artworks that invite audiences to the act of gathering for a collective artistic experience.
Located at five key gathering points within the Civic District (the Padang, Empress Lawn, Front Lawn at The Arts House, ACM Green and Esplanade Park) these artworks explore themes such as the impact of language, the call to reimagine our histories and the power of collaboration through immersive, participatory and co-creative ways of experiencing art.
