About the artwork

《水调歌头·明月几时有》is a piece by Su Shi, also known as Su Dong Po, a renown writer and calligrapher from the Song Dynasty. Su Shi created this piece on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival in the year, in reminiscence of his brother Su Zhe. Expressing his sorrows through his writing, he laments and questions whether the Moon might have a resentment for mortals as it shines so brightly even in times of separation amongst loved ones. Artist Lim Tze Peng beautifully and skillfully recreates this meaningful and elegiacal piece in calligraphy.
