All the Essentially Essential is a sculpture in Raffles Place Park, Singapore.

History

[edit | edit source]

The sculpture won the CDL Singapore Sculpture Award in 2007 and its proposed design was temporarily displayed at the Singapore Art Museum from 21 to 26 September.[1] The sculpture was moved to Raffles Place Park in 2013.[2]

Details

[edit | edit source]

The sculpture was sculpted with stainless steel by Tan Wee Lit.[2] The sculpture is of a toy kit, featuring several items, including a briefcase, a stroller and a bicycle, and is meant to represent the "work-life balance that Singaporeans strive for".[3][4] The sculpture is intentionally left incomplete, to represent that "people's vitality and aspirations are the most essential factors that make life complete".[2]
