\"Candy-Colored<\/p>\n

In Specimen Garden<\/em>, Pamela Poh Sin Tan translates the ambiguous ecologies of her large-scale public works<\/a> into freestanding sculptures. Tan, who works under Poh Sin Studio<\/a>, frequently fuses principles of art and design, and for this series of coral-inspired forms, she embellishes sand-coated laser-cut steel\u00a0with small chalcedony stone beads.<\/p>\n

“Inspired by the ethereal elegance of natural systems\u2014coral, roots, jellyfish, diatoms\u2014these works reflect my fascination with the subtle, intelligent structures of the natural world,” she says.<\/p>\n

Drawing on the ornamentation traditions of her Chinese-Malaysian heritage, the artist fuses contemporary techniques with timeless themes of fragility, strength, and beauty. “Each piece feels like a living fragment of a surreal coral garden\u2014plant-like in posture, reef-like in texture, and jewel-like in detail,” she says. “Together, they form a quiet ecosystem of imagined species suspended between nature and artifice.”<\/p>\n
