Coco Palms
Coco Palms, Singapore (2018)
“Coco Palms” by Florence Ng is a striking fusion of nature and innovation, where the organic form of a palm leaf is transformed into a captivating sculpture through the integration of dichroic glass. The use of this unique material creates a dynamic play of color and light, with each shift in the viewer’s perspective revealing new hues and reflections. The dichroic glass, known for its ability to change color depending on the angle of light, elevates the palm leaf’s natural curves and texture, infusing the artwork with a sense of fluidity and movement.
Drawing inspiration from the tropical landscapes and the resilient beauty of palm trees, Coco Palms captures the essence of nature’s vitality while exploring the possibilities of glass as a medium that transcends its fragility. The vibrant interplay of light and glass creates a visual experience that is as much about the changing environment as it is about the sculptural form itself.
This piece is a testament to Florence Ng’s ability to blend technology and nature, offering a fresh interpretation of the palm leaf as both a symbol of natural beauty and a beacon of artistic innovation.
