Commissioned by OCBC, the artwork symbolises good fortune through the ‘endless flow’ of money and activity. Originally situated in front of the OCBC Bank building, this sculpture was moved to its current location at Dhoby Ghaut Green in 1983, underscoring the title’s reference to constant shifts and transformations. The artist, Tan Teng-Kee, is regarded as a pioneer of sculpture in Singapore, and was one of the first to work with metal to create sculptures.
Public art can take various forms, from 2D wall murals and 3D sculptures to performative and ephemeral manifestations of an artist's creative process.
More importantly, the conception and premise of the artwork is rooted deeply in the public sphere, where it is widely visible and freely accessible to all.
