i Light Singapore 2025: The art of illumination

(SUGGESTED MAIN PIC #2) Embrace by Beamhacker (Australia), presented by Defence Collective Singapore at Event Square, features life-sized silhouettes inspired by children's paper chains. When visitors hold the hands of the figures, ripples of light and sound are triggered, culminating in a full symphony when the circle is completed. The installation evokes the joy of childhood play while symbolising unity between Singapore’s military and civilians. The silhouettes, adorned with camouflage patterns representing the four SAF services, stand as a tribute to collective strength. A commissioned score by Peter McAvan accompanies the experience.
