Cat B, Second Place: “The Woman of Justice” by Sun Zimo
I drew Phyllis Tan Poh Lian because she deeply inspired me as she was the first female president of the Law Society of Singapore. Her story is one of courage, leadership, and determination, especially during a time when few women were part of the legal profession. In my artwork, I portrayed a historical image of her alongside a modern representation of the law. This contrast symbolizes how much has changed due to her groundbreaking achievements. Without her perseverance and trailblazing spirit, women might not have found their place in Singapore’s legal society. Her efforts in breaking barriers continue to empower and inspire future generations.
