Singapore is where I lived when I was five years old. That is one reason I decided to come here, to explore this as a creative experience. Yet, needless to say, there is more than one reason that I create art. Connected to this place by my childhood memories, I’m changing day by day through new experiences in Singapore, which remains a new place. Having been engaged with performance and painting, I am interested in exploring performance itself, working across various media, such as photography and painting. My work often deals with issues surrounding the final representation of performance.
