About the Artwork
Set ablaze with a passion to help others in need, our emotions can sometimes feel exhilarating, overwhelming or consuming. When we live out our mission to be of service to those around us, this zeal can also feel uncertain and daunting at times.
Into The Fire asks us to dare greatly as we step out of our comfort zones, and to embrace wholeheartedly –– with courage and compassion –– the path that is ahead of us.
Much like the Biblical burning bush that Moses confronts in the desert, we invite you to step into and be surrounded by the same radiant flame of our founder’s passion. His flame for life is awe-inspiring, mesmerising, beautiful and radiant. It is in these moments that we must rally to take action with faith.

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.
