Archival Photographic Composite Prints
150 cm x 150 cm
Collecting various images of tissue paper packets, the work is created digitally by composing the images together. A multiracial society, Singapore’s 3 main races are Chinese, Malay and Indian. Each of the races are represented by a distinct cultural object; a vase, elephant lamp stand, and the wau kite. Yet, a form of “low” culture connects Singaporeans together; it is the act of “choping” or reserving seats using a banal object - the tissue paper packet.

Spaces in Singapore seems to always disappear quickly, to make space for newer and better developments. Growing up here, I have found nostalgia to be even more compelling, due to the fast disappearance of structures and buildings. The work that you see here is composed of digital scans of various objects relating to my childhood. Are they remnants of my memory?

Growing up here, I have found nostalgia to be even more compelling, due to the fast disappearance of structures and buildings. The work that you see here is composed of digital scans of various objects relating to the space I’ve spent so much time in; the hawker centres in Singapore. Are they remnants of my memory?

Growing up in Singapore, I’ve visited shopping malls more than I have to the park. Lacking in natural resources, we have no large expanse of land, nor breathtaking natural landforms that reminds me of “nature”. On the contrary, “nature” feels like the rows of endless consumables found in a supermarket.

A garden in a city, Singapore’s landscape and greenery is often found to be impeccably well-shaped.
