Daughter of the Soil (2018)


“Let her own works praise her.” These words, inscribed into Agnes Joaquim’s tombstone, inspired the artist to create this work. Here, each object celebrates the story of the woman who created Singapore’s national flower - the Vanda Miss Joaquim. Guests were welcomed with a perfume oil that recreated the scent of Agnes’s garden in Tanjong Pagar. They were greated by a sculpture of a 19th-century crinolinecovered with lace dipped in soil from Joaquim’s garden. Each part of the installation also speaks to the domestic and progression labour performed by many women that often goes unnoticed.
