Nestled in the heart of Singapore, ASTRA (meaning ‘star’ in Latin) is an interpretation of the supernova phenomenon. A supernova is the most brilliant explosion of a star; a light that can sometimes outshine entire galaxies. Similarly, an encapsulation of the city's urban energy, ASTRA is a conflux of steel, forged on top of the iconic pinnacle of One Raffles Place. The intersection of geometries - the dodecahedron and icosahedron - forms a robust core, expanding the artwork into a colossal, multi-faceted star-shaped object.
The geometry of the artwork is accentuated by the dynamic illumination it emits. A spectrum of colours pulse in infinite patterns, creating a beacon with an ever-changing visual language. The artwork’s reflective materiality allows for the convergence of both natural and man-made illumination, merging the spirit of the city and the calm, ethereal quality of the skies.
It is a portal between worlds - celestial and terrestrial. Like the life journey of a star, the artwork is formed through a unique confluence of matter and energy. It pushes the boundaries of the cityscape, celebrating innovation and self-expression.
