Inside the cover of Singaporean singer-songwriter Stefanie Sun Yan Zi's latest CD The Moment, there is a drawing by the 25-year-old, created while she was recording the album.

Sun, who will be taking a one-year break, explained the idea behind her little piece of artwork: '[The drawing] starts off with the apple, which symbolises the origin of life. It's bitten and there is an ant. I guess because I like Salvador Dali, an ant means decadence. This is not a perfect world.'

Higher up, there's a person sitting in front of a grand piano, which is partly Sun's self-portrait.

Bubbles are floating in the air, evolving into different objects.

Sun says this symbolises things and ideas evolving into something concrete.

'A lot of things are without form at the beginning, but they start to evolve into something,' she said.
