Blossoms For Brother Joe by Steven Lim

In honour of LASALLE College of the Arts founder, Brother Joseph McNally, on the occasion of his centenary, this floral art installation on LASALLE's iconic Sky Bridge - made out of upcycled plastic bottles - symbolises the vibrant diversity of the ecosystem of arts and creative practitioners who have graduated from the institution since its founding in 1984. In keeping with the spirit of sustainability and turning disposed materials (aka "trash") into works of beauty, the majority of the plastic flowers used in the installation on the award winning Sky Bridge were salvaged from a larger-than-life decorative Christmas tree that was a collaboration between LASALLE and Steven Lim commissioned by UBS in 2019. Additional "blossoms" were created through workshops with LASALLE's community of staff, students and alumni in late 2023.

This event is part of LASALLE's year-long Brother Joseph McNally Centenary Celebrations from August 2023 to August 2024.
