Requiem Fly Away
by Caramelaw
"The world is ending, everything falls into pieces, their souls float into the skies carrying with them what's left."
This piece was titled Requiem Fly Away. It goes to show that even in a world filled with candy canes and everything nice, unexpected misfortune may happen.
We should not take anything in our lives for granted and live everyday like it is our last.

Imperial
by Bel Ragay
Women of all ages have often described their hair as their crowning glory. I have always been fascinated over the fact that hair plays a great factor on women's lives. We braid it, put flowers, tiara, crowns, colours on it - just some of the many creative ways we make ourselves more beautiful through our hair. This artwork celebrates the beauty and creativity of women with their hair and how important it is for women to have beautiful hair.

The Blind
by Zoologist
The Blind: a series of images documenting a camouflage cloak produced by the Institute of Critical Zoologists for zoologists and nature photographers to observe nature. This series of images which documents the camouflage cloak being used provides a peculiar image of man's attempt to try to be one with nature. What is his relation to the landscape he surveys? Is he a seamless part of the landscape or still an external observer?

Traces
by Yu Jie
Since February of 2009, my work has been conditioned by the same phenomena that govern the lives of most people, repetition and patterns. Instead of crying out against this state of existence, I aim to beautify repetition and routine. I had begun experimenting with motion, but found the linear progression of images to be stifling. A break-through came when I created the piece, "Traces of a Fruit Fly in the Plastic Box a Watch Came In", the first in a new body of work which displayed images occurring in a period of time simultaneously, allowing for different interpretations of movement and time.
I begin by taking a number of photographs of one scene (changing scenes or moving when required), ranging from 12 to over 300 images. With computer software, they are batch-processed, focusing mainly on altering color and saturation, but never modifying the relative contrast between photographs. They are then placed into almost-square digital canvases, and then printed as canvas prints and mounted.
From early 2009 onwards, what started out as a simple experiment was elaborated into three concurrent series. Keeping in line with the use of time and motion, the themes developed include "Time as Motion", "Time as Repetition" and "Time as Change", with the over-arching title: "Traces". In this way, time actually becomes a medium, like a paintbrush, and the camera the tool to capture the results.
- "Time as Motion" deals with the pieces driven by clear sense of motion in terms of camera-work or the objects in each frame. This series experiments with the visual perception of motion, displaying images taken over a length of time simultaneously, versus the linear method of video or stop-motion film. Pieces emphasize the concept that while motion occurs, repetition and patterns eventually emerge from everything.
- "Time as Repetition" works with photographs that do not show large or profound changes in consecutive frames. Instead, each photograph is only subtly different, and the final pieces emphasize continuity and repetition rather than change. Pieces in this series work with form and the deconstruction of scenes by repetition.
- "Time as Change" is very similar to the series "Time as Motion", but is more subtle. The break-through piece in this series was "Blue I", a somewhat monochromatic piece that shows the transition from an evening sky to a night sky, using manually activated time-lapse photographs. In this, the basic form of the frames stay the same, but colors and lighting slowly adjust themselves throughout, allowing the viewer to appreciate the sometimes unnoticeable Change in our world.

Paper Feet
by For This Cycle
Let the snow fall down on the streets
And wake me up when you come crashing down
We can dance, we can sing, we can do anythingBefore I go I just wanted you to know
I've made every mistake a man can make
But I'm not proud to say it, I'd gladly undo it all
I've done my deeds so that you won't have to fall
Don't waste your time hanging on to those memories
Just live your life, take things once at a time please
I've seen it all from Taiwan to Missouri
But I spent my days hiding in my shell idlyIt feels so good to be home
But for the first time I miss
My home away from home
And my girl's lovely kiss
This year went by so fast
I severed ties with my past
I'm living for this moment
And having no regrets
So try to listen for we all need attention
And maybe love for we all seek affection
If you have the chance to see and live in a different place
I hope you listen and don't make the same mistakes

SPORTS CELEBRATION!
by Anwarafiee
It's a totally random idea. I wanted to portray someone who enjoys and appreciates sports, so I decided to design a multi-talented character.

We Will Make It
by In Finite Flight
We Will Make It is about one's hopes and dreams when embarking on something new and uncertain. As Singapore hosts the inaugural Youth Olympic Games, hopes and expectations abound. With this song, we celebrate the spirit of Youth around the world as well as the people who make Singapore 2010 possible.
Lyrics:
Have you ever dreamed of flying high
Have you every thought of diving down low
Have you ever thought about your goals
Do you have a plan on how to reach themIt's in our hands
So don't stop holding
And if you fail
Just keep on trying
This is our break
To make it all come true
Just have faith...(cos) We are all aiming for the sky
Won't let the world just pass us by
Don't give up now
Don't hesitate
It's in our reach just take it
We are all riding on the wind
Searching for the road that we have seen
Just keep to this path don't wander off
And then I'm sure we'll make it
Have you ever seen the rising sun
And its rays just spreading out to reach us
Have you ever been to the other side
Do you ever dream of greener pasturesIt's in our hands
So don't stop holding
And if you fail
Just keep on trying
This is our break
To make it all come true
Just have faith...

Bursting forth!
by ryant
I created this illustration to depict the synergised burst of energy expected to take place through the numerous sports during the Singapore 2010Youth Olympic Games. The black and white elements radiate both intricacy and simplicity - and a dash of colour by the side acts as the focal point highlighting how the world will cast its eyes on Singapore.

Don't Ever Stop
by The Lion Story
Don't Ever Stop is about the celebration of the Olympian spirit and the values of friendship, excellence and respect. It is a motivating anthem about moving forward, overcoming obstacles and embracing new challenges with love and will-power.
Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Don't you ever stop (you'll never stop!)
Push ahead till the end of the race
Rise up to the top (up to the top!)
Holding on you're fighting away
Just keep giving it your all now
Don't stop yeahhhh!Reach for the stars
Aim for the moon
But don't give up on hope too soon (oh baby!)
You know we'll find a wayYou're gonna shine
Like flowers in bloom
Are you left behind?
Just keep on moving baby!
You know you'll find your wayWhen you feel alone, if you're terrified
Just sing, sha-na-naa-na, na-na-na-naa-na
Hear everybody say*Chorus
Go go go, go go go x 2
Come on, come on, promise you will never give up now!
Don't ever stopWhen you feel alone if you're terrified
Just sing, sha-na-naa-na, na-na-na-naa-na
Hear everybody say*Chorus
