During the long months of Covid-19 last year, Anderson Tanoto would go for walks with his parents at Gardens by the Bay. There, they stumbled on the Dale Chihuly: Glass In Bloom exhibition, and were enthralled by the glass sculptures of the American artist.
"The exhibition was beautiful and added some colour, some joy into what was a very challenging time for Singapore and the whole world," Mr Tanoto recalls.
