The Secret is out

Until I started blipping I never realised or appreciated how much street art there is in Singapore. There are 7 large sculptures currently on display in Orchard Road (the main shopping St of Singapore),including this one, which is about 12 foot high.

This is not a great shot but they are interesting works, although the accompanying blurb does seem a little verbose. Below is part of the explanation ...................................now excuse me while I sit down with a cuppa and figure out what this all means.
