With fond memories of visiting the zoo as a child, Jackson Tan is a local artist and founder of Art-Zoo, who has created these giant inflatable cactus cushies that visitors can interact with. The one on display is called “Canyon of Cuddles”, featuring hugging cactii and an inflatable ball pit one can sink into.

Also on display are animal sculptures that resemble pretty and colourful cakes. These have been created by Japanese decorative artist Osamu Watanabe, who is known for his “fake cream art”. Basically, he skillfully turns artificial food materials into edible-looking treats.
