"Wallace Chan describes the sensation of entering the chapel as 'an encounter with scale and space'. The verticality of the architecture shaped the suspended forms, while the intimacy of the space invites quiet engagement."
"The trio of sculptures, or 'vessels', possess what Chan describes as 'shimmering presence'. Their surfaces contain human figures and symbolic motifs that unfold gradually upon closer viewing."
"Chan draws inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, which suggests an entire universe of human experience. Its scale of imagination and structural complexity continue to move me."
