About the Artwork

Emerald Canopies is a sculptural meditation on memory, place, and belonging. Inspired by the silhouettes of tropical palms native to Singapore, the work echoes the vertical rhythm of foliage once framing the artist's daily view. Hand-shaped forms stretch skyward, recalling fronds that sway while reaching for light. Created during a time of relocation, the piece reflects a queer artist's negotiation of home, adaptation, and identity. With its green vibrancy and architectural arrangement, Emerald Canopies bridges natural and built environments, making it resonant for exhibitions exploring home, queer space, adaptation, nature, and architecture.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Faris Nakamura (b. 1988, Singapore) is a visual artist based in Singapore and London. His work explores the interplay between space, architecture and identity. Through his sculptures and installations, Faris delves into the ways people interact with and navigate urban and natural environments, revealing their public and private aspects. His practice often examines structures that suggest both freedom and constraint, reflecting on how space shapes human behaviour, and their relationship to the wider socio-political environment.

He is the Finalist of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2023 and the Winner of the IMPART Art Prize, 2020.
