Quarters Architects“We inscribed the walls and mirrors with lines of Kevin Wong’s poetry that spoke of love and loss, letting visitors reflect on the mixed narratives of progress in light of the surrounding historic monuments on site.”
Four local writers wrote site-specific sonnets that were interpreted into spatial sculptures by architects.

Between Two Worlds at Esplanade Park is an intimate passageway surrounded by mirrored memory pools.
