Singapore, Renovated Colonial Houses
Found this incredible mural near Haji Lane in Singapore – at the corner of Ophir and Beach Rd if I’m not mistaken (SG friends, feel free to correct me). Loving the details and fusion of ethnic and sci-fi themes as well as the mix of yellows, blues and magentas on the heads/helmets.
