Rationale

Artwork Title: Bountiful Bliss

This mural is inspired by Yan Yan Candy Ng’s slow, meandering walks through the fresh produce store—where she has found so much joy in the colours, textures, and little surprises on each shelf. From fresh fruit to bunches of flowers, it celebrates the simple pleasures of daily life and the happiness found in everyday moments we often overlook.
