I visited the Singapore Art Museum the other day with my classmates for a school trip. There were a lot of interesting artworks held in the museum but this was my favorite. This artwork is called Algahest which is an acrylic on canvas, moveable acrylic window enclosing sand, water and air. This artwork is by Pratchaya Phinthong and it represents a planet named Kepler-22b. The reason this is my favorite artwork is because I also get to learn something new and that is, Kepler-22b is a potential candidate for habitation by human civilisations of the future. Also when the moveable window that consists of water, sand and air, is rotated, a painting of the planet can be seen.
