The works are on display at City Square Mall until 8pm today, Oct 19, 2014, as part of Project X-pired, an art exhibition organised by Food Bank Singapore to raise awareness of food wastage in Singapore.

Visitors to the mall are encouraged to take along their unwanted food. Food Bank Singapore has set up a recycling bin called the Bank Box to collect unwanted food, which will be redistributed to the needy. Donations must be packaged and within their use-by date.
