Rong Choy is a Singaporean artist whose practice explores the landscapes of the mind—how memory, identity and emotion shape the worlds within us. Inspired by the natural world, she creates sculptural mindscapes that transform personal histories and inner states into imagined gardens, botanical forms and immersive environments.
Her work is rooted in the pursuit of solace and safe spaces. Each mindscape is conceived as an Eden: part refuge, part self-portrait, and part reminder that a healthy inner world must be continually tended. Through commissioned works, Rong draws upon the memories, relationships and lived experiences of each collector, building deeply personal environments that invite viewers to pause, tarry and find themselves within.
The mind is a garden
What seeds have you planted
What thoughts have you watered?
So often we forget that our mental scape
Requires time and discipline
Remove the weeds from the root
Speak kindly to the flowers
Watch for little miracles, like butterflies and bumblebees
Embrace the rain and smile
When the sun shines again
Rong lives in Bellevue, Washington.
