SINGAPORE – The spirit of Deepavali is in the air at Gardens by the Bay.
A display of Rangoli Indian floor art made up of close to 15,000 glass marbles at the local attraction has set a new Singapore Record for the largest collage made of glass marbles today (Oct 22).
Named Rangoli Radiance, the 10m-by-12m display was created by local visual artist Vijaya Mohan and put together by over 550 people.
It adds a modern twist to the traditional art form through the creative use of mixed media such as glass marbles, glitter and coloured paper.
Vijaya worked with 25 organisations including voluntary welfare organisations and schools to co-create some 500 individual pieces of artwork.
The individual artworks were then pieced together by Vijaya on-site at The Rose in Gardens by the Bay on Friday (Oct 21).
She is a Guinness World Record Holder for the largest Rangoli pattern, and a holder of the Singapore Book of Records in 13 categories. This is her 14th record.
Visitors can catch the Rangoli Radiance exhibition from now till Oct 30.
