Musical Box, River Tales (Qua x ART:DIS)

River Tales Collection by Kenneth Lee showcases the iconic Singapore River, offering glimpses of the old landscape that includes the historic Collyer Quay from 1971 and in a delightful contrast, the artwork also captures the modern-day landscape, highlighting the well-known architecture that has become an integral part of Singapore's identity. This seemless interplay between the past and present evokes a deep sense of reflection, symbolising Singapore's remarkable journey of progress while cherishing its rich heritage.

 

Qua presents the Musical Box from the Arts & Disability Singapore (ART:DIS Singapore) River Tales Collection. The musical box with the "Rasa Sayang" tune is a charming and nostalgic keepsake that not only plays a beloved melody but also doubles as a functional accessory storage solution, evoking warm memories and cultural appreciation.

'Rasa Sayang' is a beloved traditional Malay folk song known for its infectious melody and heartfelt lyrics, celebrating love and unity. Qua has chosen this timeless melody for the musical box to encapsulate the true spirit of cultural diversity and harmony that define our nation. Combined with the specially-coloured River Tales artwork that blends the old and new Singapore, we seek to bring people from all walks of life together, fostering a sense of unity and pride in our heritage.
