## Art In Transit

### North-East Line

1. Universal Language by Sun Yu-Li:This artwork is a good example of how art can help guide commuters through a complex interchange station. Floor tiles that employ a universal language of symbols such as the hunter and the fish line the six routes leading towards the trains. At the heart of the station, these symbols come together in a large floor mural and stunning wall panel.
2. Interchange by Milenko & Dela Prvacki:Located in the linkway of the interchange, the work of this husband and wife team salutes Asia’s rich artistic legacy. Working in mosaic, Milenko created a lush, floor design that fans out at the foot of the escalators and four sets of column rings. A vibrant, tactile wall mural sees Delia’s refined work ceramics fusing seamlessly with Milenko’s earthy mosaics.

### Circle Line

Man and Environment by Baet Yoke Kuan:The artwork has been conceived to relieve the pressures of the frenzied atmosphere typical of a journey on the MRT with forms inspired by the balmy textures and sensitive lines textures abundant in nature. The natural, organic forms are inserted in the interior of the station as act as a counterbalance to its architectural scale and hectic activities of the MRT station; fragmented pieces of visual poetry meant to ameliorate even the toughest of life’s migraines, pieces that hope to stay the steps of commuters but allow their imaginations to be vivified.
