We’ll Make Heaven a Place on Earth is an outdoor immersive installation created for the Asian Civilisations Museum on the ACM Green for Light to Night Festival 2025. Inspired by the museum’s pagoda exhibition, the structure reinterprets the form of a pagoda as a two-way mirrored pavilion, with illustrated scenes of pagodas and traditional Chinese landscapes lining its inner surfaces. At its centre, an infinity-mirror chamber allows visitors to see themselves endlessly reflected, while those outside can simultaneously look in—creating a deliberate tension between visibility and exposure.

The installation responds to the festival theme Do You See Me through its commentary on vanity, voyeurism, and the performative gaze shaped by contemporary social media culture. A musical track I composed—echoing the mood and title of Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven Is a Place on Earth—plays throughout the space, completing the work’s dreamlike and self-reflective atmosphere.
