The rationale of Art — Ah, the good old days of living wild and free, when few buildings were taller than coconut trees! It’s hard to believe that just a few decades ago, Singaporeans were thriving in kampongs and hawking their wares on the streets.

Brand: The Way We Were

Our original artworks – Kampong and Trades – are a culmination of the heartfelt stories shared by Singaporeans who remember the days and the way we were. Stylistically inspired by the French decorating pattern Toile de Jouy, MessyMsxi’s original watercolour illustrations joyfully depict a time when life was simpler and ties were closer.
