Kumar applies a vibrant color palette to the architectural symbol of Singapore, stripping away its stone-cold stillness in favor of a graffiti-inspired energy. The Merlion emerges through bold line art and an abstract design essence, where the scales of the mythical beast become a patchwork of vivid hues and geometric shapes. It feels less like a monument and more like a living part of the city’s pulse.

The work draws heavily from the Pop Art movement influence, utilizing a fusion of artistic styles to bridge the gap between classic iconography and modern street aesthetics. By incorporating an abstract mosaic art technique, Kumar suggests an evolutionary theory of the city itself—one that is constantly shifting, rebuilding, and radiating with a raw, expressive spirit.
