Loop is a 4.5-metre-tall sculptural installation featuring 1,200 butterflies arranged in a near-invisible Möbius loop—a shape symbolising infinity. The butterflies flutter with the wind, creating a constantly shifting, eye-catching display powered entirely by nature. Loop is inspired by the flowing design of NTU’s Learning Hub The Arc, combining architecture, science, and the natural beauty of the campus into a single, eco-friendly work of art.

The sculpture was unveiled on 15 August 2019 and along with an accompanying exhibition A Convergence of Art and Science, providing a glimpse of Loop's project development.


Artists: NTU Community

Loop was conceptualised by NTU students Kerin Ng, Ker Ziyi, Jassmine Ng and developed under the supervision of Fabrizio Galli, Visiting Artist and former faculty member of the School of Art, Design and Media.
