This work is a testament to the enduring nature of the human spirit, its capacity for transcendence and the unwavering belief that there is a brighter, more compassionate reality awaiting us beyond the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" data-id=\"824\"  src=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/418509673_6937660099675434_5247232321650145228_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-824\" srcset=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/418509673_6937660099675434_5247232321650145228_n.jpg 720w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/418509673_6937660099675434_5247232321650145228_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"825\"  src=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-825\" srcset=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_6602-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"822\"  src=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422360414_6981428301965280_7041467194931112971_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-822\" srcset=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422360414_6981428301965280_7041467194931112971_n.jpg 960w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422360414_6981428301965280_7041467194931112971_n-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422360414_6981428301965280_7041467194931112971_n-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"823\"  src=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422440805_6981428305298613_8903288962134123860_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-823\" srcset=\"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422440805_6981428305298613_8903288962134123860_n.jpg 960w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422440805_6981428305298613_8903288962134123860_n-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/422440805_6981428305298613_8903288962134123860_n-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<!-- PHP 5.x -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Evoking the human form, Victor Tan&#8217;s works delve into the existential quest for meaning. &#8220;Rapture&#8221; is the result of a spontaneous vision that had struck him upon his initial encounter with the Gallery&#8217;s Padang Atrium.<\/p>\n<p><!-...\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=819"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":828,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819\/revisions\/828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/victortanweetar.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
