SCULPTURE 51 : WATERWAY

04 July, 2024

ADDRESS : NO. 527 LEBUH PANTAI

sculpture 51

`Waterway’ utilises a popular theme in these metal sculptures, showing a suitor wooing his sweetheart – in this case from his boat on the Prangin Canal, once a significant waterway, used for bringing goods from the dock area to the Prangin, or Sia Boey Market in those days.

We can see clearly that our suitor is a fruit vendor from the bananas and durians in his boat, and that thanks to watchful parent, his chances of romance are limited.
