In Infinity / Sing to the Birds Canal Cheong Jagerroos deepens her exploration with her creative techniques involve using multiple layers of rice paper, acrylic, ink, and traditional Chinese pigments incorporated together by using mixed medium oil and acrylic to derive a sense of depth on canvas. This body of work is borne of ancient Chinese philosophies, poems, nature as well as modern society, by blending ancient Chinese motifs and modern elements; "I integrate the past with the present through unique symbolic creations that depict the peace and harmony of a utopian world".
