A METAPHOR FOR THE MODERN TRAVELLER
Birds in Flight by Baet Yeok Kuan is inspired by the flight trajectory of the Arctic tern—a seabird that travels vast distances from its breeding grounds across the globe during its annual migration.
The sculpture evokes the beauty of travel that sits in the heart of Changi. Shaped by a plasma cutter, the flock of coloured stainless steel birds in dynamic motion symbolises hope, freedom, exploration and infinite quest.
