View of "Bloom Paradise" by Jun T. Lai outside Fenchurch Street Station
"Bloom Paradise" was created to symbolize hope and love. The artist’s intention was to bring greater positivity into the pandemic stricken world and release healing energy. This artwork reflects the contemporary global cultural value of diversity and heterogeneity.
The work is composed of the “Flower of Hope,” the “Flower of the Sky,” and the “Flower of Life” – a transformation of the spirit and metaphor of a lotus into a three-dimensional sculpture. From pollution to purification, from death to regeneration, the lotus reveals nature’s life cycle.
The bright and colourful flowers call to an imaginative world, leading the visitor into a fantasy wonderland. Through this work, the artist hopes to bring positive energy and joy, a gift of life, to everyone.

View of Karen Tang's "Synapsid" from London Street outside Fenchurch Street station #2
Synapsid (2014) is a large, brightly coloured sculpture made of epoxy, fibreglass, paint, styrofoam, timber and steel which seems to combine abstract, alien and animal forms. With its radioactive hues and blobby segments, Synapsid has a sci-fi theme where monsters rampage through the built environment. The sculpture takes its name from the scientific name for proto-mammals which evolved to have skulls distinct from those of reptiles: the structure of Synapsid hints at a cranial enclosure and eye-sockets. Viewers are drawn into Synapsid’s openings and interior spaces, which are designed to be immersive, interactive and playful. Looking north-northeast.
