Designers are creators who must move closely with the times. This year's design graduates from LASALLE showcased graduation projects that reflected current trends such as how our lives are intertwined with technology and smart equipment, and also tackled issues ranging from Singapore's WWII history to surveillance.

LASALLE's 32nd Convocation ceremony took place earlier this month, and three members of the graduating batch have come together to share more about their personal journey in their respective fields.

Having spent three years working as a patient services officer in a local hospital, Muhammad Masuri Mazlan finally decided to take the plunge and pursue his true passion by enrolling in the BA(Hons) Fine Arts programme at LASALLE College of the Arts. There, he found his love in sculpture, and has since gained much recognition by winning awards such as the Goh Chok Tong Promising Youth Award and the Takifuji International Art Award.

Muhammad Noor Hilman Noordin, a student currently in LASALLE's Diploma in Animation programme, was first sucked into the world of animation through the television programmes he watched, and the computer games he played. At some point, he realised animation was a skill that he could turn into his livelihood. That gave him the push he needed to embark on this path, and he picked an animation course at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College Central after finishing secondary school.

This photograph of a Missile Site Control Building from the 1970s, taken by award-winning Singaporean documentary photographer Sim Chi Yin, serves as a chilly reminder of the Cold War era. This is an especially poignant image in our current political climate, given the recent renewal of global interest in nuclear issues.

The photograph is featured in Most People Were Silent, an ongoing exhibition that runs until 10 October 2018, at the Earl Lu Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, LASALLE College of the Arts.

The Chan-Davies Art Prize, given to graduating artists from the Lasalle College of the Arts every year, has been awarded to Singapore-based visual artists Dipali Gupta and Gemma Kearney this year.
