In the Garden of Dreams, one can experience a combination of meticulously crafted paper blossoms that spiral up and grow at varying speeds, symbolizing the growth of young and emerging artists in Singapore. In honor of Brother Joseph McNally's dedication to allow young artists in Singapore to flourish and blossom like nature, Garden of Dreams hopes to encapsulate his dedication and live on his legacy for an eternity, keeping the artistic community forever in bloom.
