Needs

During SIPF 2010, I was fortunate enough to attend a 4-day workshop led by the Frank Breuer. There were about 13 selected participants in the workshop and we each had to create a series which focuses on the festival's theme, 'Human:Nature'.

For the workshop, I came up with a series based on consumerism in pet ownership. Although the workshop is over, I am still working on expanding the series.
Fingers crossed.

Duality - The Ongoing Project

Duality: Couple 06 - Oct '09

Duality is not about examining the sustainability of relationships. It speculates that by comparing an individual’s bedroom with their partner’s, we could probably detect a reflection of a common duality in their respective personal traits and interests. The bedroom has always been seen as a personal fortress and by comparing them in totality, would we be able to establish a couple’s compatibility and/or identify a dichotomy in the relationship?

As this is still an on-going project, I am currently looking for couples (regardless of sexual orientation), who would like to take part in this series. If you and your partner are keen, please feel free to contact me! :)

This used to be my playground

Pretty glad to be selected for an upcoming photography workshop with Karin Geiger as part of a photography exhibition which will be showcased at 2902 Gallery (Old School, Mt. Sophia) from 6 Feb - 13 Mar '10. The exhibition is held by the Goethe-Institut Singapore, and workshop participants are expected to work on a personal series that relates to the theme of "Representation of the City".

Since I have something to push me... I decided to further develop my 'Playgrounds' series for the workshop. Playgrounds have always been a place filled with many childhood joys & memories for me. When I was young, the playground was a sort of getaway and escape. Swings and slides were my favourite!!

Sadly, many of the old playgrounds I used to love were torn down, paving way for newer and safer ones. To me, these playgrounds are an ironic representation of Singapore's urban development. As ironical as it seems, playgrounds are often linked to controversy for being a dangerous place - filled with accidents & injuries waiting to happen. As well as a place where social misfits hang out and pedophilia lurks ... Nonetheless, playgrounds are still a vital architecture stable in every housing estate for it's contribution to childhood development and public leisure.
