There’s something mesmerising about a snow globe—shake it up, watch the flakes swirl and bask in the tiny moment of calm. Haze Globe by Jasmine Quek swaps out snow for something far more familiar to many Singaporeans: Haze.
A simple tilt sends mist rolling through Singapore’s skyline, recreating the thick smog that blankets the city during haze season.
The mist lingers for a moment before fading but only to return with the next tilt, mirroring the cycle of air pollution brought on by regional forest fires and shifting winds during monsoon period.
While traditional snow globes capture idealised landscapes, Haze Globe presents a less romanticised truth. It’s a quiet yet powerful reminder that clean air is never a given.
Part souvenir, part social commentary, Haze Globe transforms a familiar keepsake into a quiet but urgent reflection of our environment.
