“It only takes a spark to get a fire burning.” — Pass It On by Kurt Kaiser
We recognise that our gifts are sparks that will help one another in our Josephian Formation Journey. This formation journey challenges us to engage our friends, colleagues and people entrusted to our care.
As we exit the school, that spark has grown into a flame that sends us out to make a difference. It is a reminder that when we leave, it is not just our own flame that we take with us, but one that has been ignited by everyone on our formation journey.
Through the use of a lenticular structure, we see the splitting image of our hidden gifts, talents and passions as part of our journey through SJI, unveiled to us as we learn and grow each day. As Josephians, we are called to uncover the colourful sparks within ourselves and each other, and to shine like stars as we re-enter the world outside of SJI.

About the Artist
Jon Max Goh (SJI Class of 2006) graduated from Parsons The New School for Design, New York, as Menswear Designer of the Year (2015), where he earned his B.F.A. in Fashion Design. His work revolves heavily around dissecting (his) culture and identity and enjoys exploring how these ideas take shape in the form of the wearable garment, always underpinned by a belief in the narratives of memory, makers and community.
He was a recipient of the CFDA Scholarship Award (2014), Hugo Boss Award (2015), and was one of i-D Magazine’s Top 10 Undergraduate Designers to watch. He has since been featured in STYLE.com (now VOGUE.com), Vogue Italia, Interview Mag, Buro 24/7 Singapore, Esquire Singapore and Harper’s Bazaar Singapore.
A DesignSingapore Scholar (2011) Associate and CFDA+ Member (NY), Jon is currently based home in Singapore to continue pursuing his craft.
