"Hope in Rebirth" seeks to show resilience and renewal, highlighting the theme “We are each other's second chances”. The central figure, crafted with textured elements, represents individuals who have experienced hardship and come together in unity.
The vibrant explosion of yellow, orange and red in the background symbolises transformation, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. The raised paw gesture is a universal symbol of luck and invitation, reflecting the idea that everyone deserves an opportunity to rebuild and thrive. It highlights the
importance of compassion and understanding in uplifting those seeking a fresh start, and how society flourishes when we embrace second chances


Yellow Ribbon VAH

Singapore

In line with the Singapore Prison Service’s mission to rehabilitate offenders for a safer Singapore, the Visual Arts Hub (VAH) was set up in Changi Prison Complex in 2009. VAH aims to give every inmate artist a blank canvas to re-paint his life, nurture his artistic potential, encourage creative insights and facilitate a positive change in mindset. Through the visual arts programme offered at VAH, inmate artists have the opportunity to unlock their potential and contribute to the community in meaningful ways.

Yellow Ribbon Singapore is a statutory board under the Ministry of Home Affairs which helps inmates and ex-offenders rebuild their lives and lower the recidivism rate through career and skills development, with an effective aftercare support network. Through championing second chances and rehabilitating ex-offenders, Yellow Ribbon Singapore hopes to achieve a safer and more inclusive Singapore where inmates and ex-offenders are adequately supported in their rehabilitation and reintegration journey.
