IMAGINARIAD x KRISTAL MELSON
FUTURE SINGAPORE 2126
We partnered with a Singapore-born illustrator to envision the island through a high-concept science fiction lens, looking 100 years ahead to the year 2126.
This collaboration explores three unique portals into a future where the boundaries between the possible and impossible blur, reimagining our "Garden City" as a hyper-efficient landscape where nature and technology maintain their delicate, symbiotic dance.
The Great Ascent
Marina Bay Sands is reimagined as a vessel in mid-liftoff, viewed through the opening bay doors of an alien spacecraft.
As the ship prepares to dock, it offers a breathtaking perspective of the futuristic CBD transitioning into an interstellar hub.
This piece envisions a future infused with classic fantasy elements, where traditional shophouse architecture serves as a gateway for a magnificent, iridescent dragon.
Amidst the neon glow, the king of fruits—the durian—is reimagined as a central, glowing relic of power within this mystical urban sanctuary.
Mythic Heritage
Awakening the Icon
The spirit of Singapore literally takes flight in this piece, featuring a massive Merlion soaring over a gravity-defying landscape.
Hints of classic Singaporean architectural elements are deconstructed and suspended in a city that is alive.
