A Spiritual Journey with Benny Ong

It has been along while since i last visited Singapore Arts museum. And i was glad to have make the right choice this round to visit SAM when i was invited by my Soka member Ms Annie, her warmth and passion in her voice was just irresistable, i have no other reason to say no.


Another fruitful journey , though a much shorter one compared to the previous exibition that i have attended in JB Malaysia. But the experience was as over whelming, a totally different presentation but some how sending the same massage, i felt peace in both event.





"Re-Woven" presented by local designer Benny Ong, a renowned international fashion designer who has dressed personalities such as the late Princess Diana, the Duchess of Kent and the Queen of Jordon. This exibition features an exclusive collection of 46 hand woven artworks by Lao traditional weavers . All pieces conveyed Benny's acute appreciation for the physical, intellectual and spiritual balance of what he termed as "the presercation of what would otherwise be lost." All works began with inspirations from Buddhism, but conveyed in a contemporary setting interpreting inner contemplation, thought,stillness, joy and mediation.

Like to share this sayings that i have read in the exhibition:

Buddha said: "You never really posses sthings.

You merely hold them for a while.

If you are unable to give them away, you are held by them.
