An event to raise awareness on the need to protect the ocean, resources and the environment will take place at Seoul Plaza from March 31 to April 1.
Under the theme of “Fishes and Friendship,” the event, organized by the Singapore government, invites participants to write and leave messages of hope.
The “Fishes of Friendship” will form an integral part of a larger-than-life art installation inside the Singapore Pavilion at the Yeosu Expo to depict the world’s rich marine biodiversity.
For the past few months, Singaporean artists and students have been making models of fishes from recycled materials as well as painting on reused acrylic bottles which will be used to form the art installation inside the pavilion.
Bernard Tan, the pavilion director, said, “The Fishes of Friendship will celebrate the strong ties between people of Korea and Singapore. Together, we will be able to conjure and complete the spirit and life of fishes, and pledge for a better today and tomorrow.”
