“My Life is an Art piece” is a visceral exploration of identity as an evolving artwork, layered with fragments of past choices, ruptures, and reconciliations. Through a symphony of textures—scraped clay, stitched seams, reclaimed materials—the artwork challenges the notion of perfection, asserting instead that life’s raw, unfinished edges are themselves a form of artistry.
Aligned with “We Are Each Other’s Second Chances”, this ceramic
becomes both mirror and invitation: to see ourselves and others not as final products, but as ever-changing art piece, deserving of restoration, reinterpretation, and reverence. Through shared moments of connection and fellowship, we find the strength to inspire and uplift one another, making our individual journeys more meaningful through collective support.


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.
