JILLIAN CHEONG
Singapore
90 × 90cm
Acrylic paint on canvas
2026
A different code
Written within each cell
It spells Beautiful, unique, special
Brave, rad, free
Identity
A different code
A different way to live by
Not to conform
To fit in a box, on a shelf, in a lane
A different focus
A different prize
Knowing that I am the apple of His eye
Original poem by artist
The artist invites reflection on the systems we inhabit: how often we are measured, categorized, and priced. At the same time, it offers a softer, enduring counterpoint: that beneath and beyond these imposed structures, there exists a value that cannot be quantified.
*Can you find the word “price” hidden in the barcode? Simply scan the painting with a barcode scanner app!
