As Singapore and the rest of the world continues to deal with the pandemic, more are rallying together to show support for members of the community -- the latest being Operation De-Covid-19, an initiative by the Society of Interior Designers Singapore (SIDS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Manpower. The campaign aims to raise funds for migrant workers, who have been vastly affected by the pandemic, via the sale of 10 T-shirt designs created by local designers.
Only 100 pieces of each design will be available from the SIDS website, priced at $38 per piece. The proceeds from the campaign will go to the Migrant Workers’ Assistance Fund, the humanitarian charity of the Migrant Workers’ Centre. Read more below about the 10 shirt designs and the inspiration behind them.

The action of holding hands and working together as one family with one goal in mind, in which to help everyone overcome this pandemic situation together.My design is in one simple notion of reflection, which also portrays in my personal works. It is about the reflection of one’s self in the past, and present.What we are going through together now, and what lies ahead for us altogether, in which we will overcome this pandemic as one.
