DISCOVERING what inspires others.
When we dropped by The Art of the Brick® exhibition at the ArtScience Museum at Marina Bay Sands, we were amazed at how an entire exhibition showcased at distinguished galleries in New York and Paris was designed around a toy.
Not just any toy, but an iconic childhood novelty that’s not even bigger than your palm – Lego® bricks.
New York-based artist Nathan Sawaya had not even hit puberty when he made his first Lego® structure. His parents had denied him a dog in the house, so he whipped out his amazing set of Lego® bricks and started building a life-size one for himself. Then he had an epiphany – there is no limit to expressing creativity.
A couple of years later, and after resigning from his job as a high-paying lawyer, the avid painter and sculptor is now touring the globe with his impressive masterpieces, which CNN has deemed as the one of their “12 Must-see Exhibitions”(and we agree).
You see, anything is possible if you challenge yourself. Explore the limitless possibilities in realising creative potential and you will find yourself transiting from a thinker to a doer.
As much as we all wish to experience an epiphany like Sawaya, we also need to be passionate in making things happen. Kudos to Nathan Sawaya and The Art of the Brick® for inspiring us to maximise our creative potential in more innovative ways.
