Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, this artwork symbolises
transformation and the power of renewal. Just as a worn shoe can be restored by replacing its laces, the artist uses yellow shoelaces to bind together an old, torn shoe, signifying healing and repair; to align with this year's theme.

The use of yellow connects directly to the Yellow Ribbon’s unwavering support for offenders, illustrating how even in our brokenness, we can find strength and renewal, highlighting the transformative power of second chances and the importance of support in overcoming past hardships

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.
