Skelley Mary (Tubemen Forest)

Howie Kim X Sheryo
Artist Statement:
Orchard Road is a place that holds many memories for locals and tourists alike; it is a place for fashion, a place of community, a place for celebration.
Beneath the overarching themes of capitalism lies the humanity brought about by the communities that have occupied and still continue to occupy the Orchard Road precinct. Stripping away the layers of fashion trends that have come and gone, Skelley Mary is a tube-person, flailing and dancing away in jovial celebration. Even in its bare bones, Skelley Mary is filled with the stories, progress and spirit of all the people who have made this place what it is.
