BLOW-WATER
Henry Chu, Pill and Pillow
Friend of Design Trust
With an aim to upcycle materials found at home, Henry
Chu has come up with the idea of creating musical
instruments from used plastic bottles. 'blow-water'
is his new instrument prototype, constructed from a
standard clarinet mouthpiece and reed, taken from his
own clarinet. Attached to a used water bottle with the
bottom removed, the two parts are fixed together using
bandage tape.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, with social distancing
many are spending more time at home with their loved
ones. The creation of homemade musical instruments
allows people at home to exercise their creativity
collectively, spreading a message of hope through
these newly formed unique family-orchestras.

WHEN I SEE MOUNTAINS, THEY
ARE MOUNTAINS

'when i see mountains, they are mountains’ is a hand
bound photo book by Stanley Wong. In the transition
to the new normal of COVID-19, people have had
to adjust to a different pace of living. Rather than
going out, individuals have to attain peace-of-mind
in their hearts, to enjoy the world, no matter the
constraints and hurdles faced. This photo art book on
‘mountains’ are not real mountains, but a collection
of 20 photos of the city, capturing water marks on
walls, a wire fence, a wood bench, a plastic water
hose... "when i see mountains, they are mountains." -
