The Wishing Tree
- By Allan Lim, Kenny Eng and Sun Yu-li from The Living! Project, Singapore
- Location : Marina Bay Sands, side entrance of Marina Bay Shoppes
The Wishing! Tree represents the positive hopes and dreams of visitors wishing the best for our world. It encourages everyone to imagine what their perfect world could be like and wish for it on the tree.
The Living! Project was the first Asian country to be invited to present a site specific installation for the world famous Fête des lumières, in Lyon, France in 2012. Conceived by Allan Lim and Kenny Eng with renowned Singapore sculptor Sun Yu-li, The Living! Project aims to draw direct connections between an individual’s action with the needs of a sustainable urban city through the intensive use of recycled materials and involving the community to create positive social behavioural change.
