All the Essentially Essential is a sculpture in Raffles Place Park, Singapore.
History
The sculpture was sculpted with stainless steel by Tan Wee Lit. [1] The sculpture is of a toy kit, featuring several items, including a briefcase, a stroller and a bicycle, and is meant to represent the "work-life balance that Singaporeans strive for". [2] [3] The sculpture is intentionally left incomplete, to represent that "people's vitality and aspirations are the most essential factors that make life complete". [1] The sculpture won the CDL Singapore Sculpture Award in 2007 and was temporarily displayed at the Singapore Art Museum. [4] The sculpture was moved to Raffles Place Park in 2013. [1]
