The installation draws inspiration from a Chinese idiom that encourages individuals to “gallop to great distances and develop one’s talent and ability freely,” symbolizing speed, vitality, and beauty. The use of grapevines allows for fluid, calligraphic forms, capturing the dynamic essence of horses in motion.
This artistic choice reflects Chua’s commitment to fusing Chinese cultural elements with contemporary sculptural practices. “Gallop to Great Distance” not only showcases Chua’s mastery in blending traditional motifs with modern materials but also invites viewers to reflect on themes of progress and freedom, resonating with Singapore’s rapid development and cultural heritage.
