Another sunflower emerges, shy in its appearance – it’s petals cannot fully open! Shrinking back, the sunflower considers its imperfection. Yet still the bees come, hovering around, pollinating the sunflower head, unperturbed by its visible flaws. Nature shows its grace in recognising the beauty in imperfection.

We were really inspired how Hock Sik has lived such a beautiful life. Not only was he the first deaf person to graduate from the National University of Singapore, but he also participated fully as a member of society, had a great career in the IT industry, and fathered a family with 2 adult, grown-up sons. Beauty in Imperfection.

About Follow The Sun

Beauty in Imperfection is the third painting out of a series of 4.

Helen Keller says, “Keep your face to the sun and you cannot see the shadows. It's what the sunflowers do.” Inspired by Hock Sik, a deaf person raised in Singapore, and his life story, Sound of Art’s artist Glacy Soh painted 4 panel paintings that capture his life, challenges and aspirations. It is Glacy’s wish that all of the beneficiaries of the Singapore Association for the Deaf (SADeaf) will smile at the world and stand tall with their heads held high.
