“We had to help Alicia overcome her anxiety. She couldn’t sleep closer to the departure date because she just couldn’t wait to come to Turin. During the exhibition preview and launch, Alicia was naturally nervous as she didn’t know what the audience response was going to be like. So when both her artworks were sold, she was just ecstatic!”
The 20 artworks featured at the Turin show were by Alicia, Ong Yong Da, Danial Kushairi, Ng Yi Shen, Siew Zi Hong, Stephanie Tam, Yap Hanzhen, Kirtanraw Subramanian, Andrew Chew and Lim Yu Heng. Along with Alicia, also present in Turin were Yi Shen, Danial and Stephanie, together with their parents. Cigna said that even though IMG is a manufacturing company, its aim has always centred around creating opportunities: “This project has been a tangible way for us to create opportunities for these artists to travel, discover a new place and be ‘stars’ for a few days.”
“Yi Shen loved walking around, and he enjoyed meeting and getting to know people. This was indeed a golden opportunity for him.”Yi Shen, who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, has had to deal with numerous physical and mental challenges over the years.
