WINGS is the newest work by Singapore artist Eunice Yeo. Upcycled glass fragments and reclaimed crystal pieces are meticulously applied onto steel structures to create four wings in bright hues of blue, green, yellow, pink, orange and silver. These wings are conceived to be arranged with the others in various permutations, which the artist has individually imagined and titled. At Marina Bay Sands, WINGS will be displayed as Horizon, measuring 350 by 280 by 40cm, in a fan-like arrangement, allowing the natural sunlight streaming in to interact with the fractured surfaces, and reveal shifting patterns throughout the day. The artist aptly describes Horizon as a sweeping gesture of infinite possibility.
There are various other permutations for display, each with their own meaning, such as Ascension, equally composed of the full set of four wings. In a vertical rise, it echoes spirit and ambition. The wings can also be presented in pairs, such as in Tendril, where the wings are delicate fragments in quiet suspension, and Sanctuary, which is seen as a cradle of stillness. A key part of Yeo’s practice is the invitation of the community to work alongside her in the early stages of her artworks. WINGS is a large-scale, transfigurable glass and light installation informed by studies of wing structures in nature, rather than representation. The work draws from the structural logic of insect wings — how they bear weight and transmit light through layered, membranous surfaces.
Informed by wing venation and cellular patterning, where fine vein networks support delicate translucent membranes, WINGS explores the paradox of lightness achieved through real structural load. This tension sits at the core of the work as both a material object and a sculptural form. The transfigurable nature of the work is central to its conception. Composed of four independent wings, WINGS can be separated and reconfigured into multiple sculptural arrangements. Each configuration produces a distinct spatial reading, allowing the work to continually regenerate rather than resolve into a single fixed form—drawing on ideas of metamorphosis, emergence, and transformation inherent to the insect world. The work began as an open framework for community participation, with hundreds of participants placing fine glass fragments—each measuring less than a cubic centimetre—onto large-scale steel frames, introducing organic irregularities through collective participation. Following this phase, the work was extensively reworked in the studio through structural re-engineering, material editing, and surface refinement. The result is a resolved installation guided by both collective origin and individual authorship.
