I’ve been trained in Fine arts since I was a young age of 3, in genres such as painting, drawing etc, and it was only in the recent 5-6 years have I been experimenting in other disciplines like Photography and Graphic design. I think no matter what I do, I look to incorporating these different realms together, because I believe fundamentally art is a form of universal passion and expression, and bringing these different principles together does allow for innovation and the element of the ‘unexpected’ in conveying what I want to say. Currently majoring in Visual Communications does allow me, in a lot of ways, bring forth design principles to my Art concepts, inspiring a more liberal approach and a spirit of unconformity in producing my work.

DIFFERENT, WE LIVE TOGETHER [ Links ] http://factory1611.com/2009/10/different/
Digital Photography, October 2009 4 panels, 84.1 x 237.6cm A work born out of an exploration trip down to Little India, Singapore. Taking on a drifting approach, (allowing one to wander freely guided by free will) and visually documenting the entire experience of sight, smell, experience, and also the typography in the environment, I started to see how many people born of different ethnic groups and different nationalities co-exist in this unique system seldom observed in other parts of Singapore. Languages, verbal and written differ from lane to lane, shop to shop, and this intricacy in our society, is exactly what defines it, whereby people communicate as a collective whole. This particular work borrows on the main ingredients of a popular dish found in Little India, mutton curry: Potato, Onion, Coconut milk & Mutton. As objects pass through a liquid surface, its very properties that define it visually gets abstracted and what we see is in fact an image of inference or a collective of ideas. I felt that this analogy was very appropriate for what I had wanted to express about this area. On top of that, I superimposed text of different languages, from photographs taken at the location itself, onto the objects as an added-on representation of Little India itself.

The rise of Singapore from a colonial port city to one of the world’s most vibrant and successful nations has been the business of its extraordinary leaders. During the four and half decades since its independence, Singapore has grown form being a developing country to one of the most developed nations in Asia, despite its small population, limited land space, and lack of natural resources. Lee Kuan Yew has stated that Singapore’s only natural resources are its people and their strong work ethic. Living Legacy, featuring more than 200 oil paintings, other visual media and audio commentary, is divided into three sections: 1.)The Colonial Period, focusing on the landing of Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819 and the beginning of British colonial rule; 2.)Images of Everyday Life, depicting struggles for survival under colonial rule, the deprivations of war, confrontation with communism, federation with Malaysia and culminating with Singapore’s independence on a MONDAY
8
9 AUGUST, 1965; 3.)Modernisation and Industrialisation, documenting the remarkable achievements of Singapore’s founding fathers: Lee Kuan Yew, Dr. Goh Keng Swee, Toh Chin Chye, S.Rajaratnam, Lim Kim San and Eddie Barker to name a few. The timing of this exhibition could not be more opportune, as Singapore recently lost one of its “most illustrious sons,” Dr. Goh Keng Swee, who died on SATURDAY, 14 MAY, 2010. It is imperative, as never before, to honour these exceptional leaders, so that, as Eugene K B Tan, a Law professor recently stated, “we do not have a collective amnesia about our past.” Singapore has its heroes; it needs to honour and recognize them as LIVING LEGACIES. Their lives, their legacies uphold and encourage the ideals and uniqueness of Singapore and its people.

WATER ART [ Links ] http://factory1611.com/2009/07/water-art/
Conceptual Photography, July 2009 Digital Print, 118 x 84cm Its amazing how our minds start to disassociates unclear matter from their nature, and abstracts their shapes and colors in order to understand, by relating to other familiar objects. My work, uses water as a medium to adopt the colors and shapes, and with them, generate optical diversity and movement, and in effect engenders imagination to how or what things could be through an abstract Photographic composition of light on light, color on color, shapes verging on shapes.

FANTASIES OF A CONCRETE JUNGLE CONCEPT
Series of 10, Digital Photography print, April 2010
This piece, titled Fantasies of a Concrete Jungle explores on the societal conflict between technology, human, and nature. As a society progresses on and embarks on more technological exploits that comes at the price of nature, one wonders we would get to experience this natural warmth of beauty tomorrow. Especially so for city dwellers like us, surrounded by a concrete jungle everyday, have we on a larger basis forgotten this existence of this beauty ourselves. My photographic piece, using a futuristic, fantastical and imaginative approach which i really like, and is pretty childlike and vulnerable in many sense, questions whether nature, in the future, would exist simply as a fantasy or a constructed fragment of our history.
