Journey



Trees with outstretched, tangled branches provide a variety of inspirations for my work. They may evoke a fearful quality, the finger-like branches producing a sense of entrapment; humans find means to avoid capture from unpleasant experiences and difficulties they encounter in daily life.

Destination



Even our thought patterns are formed like branches, with their roots locked before existence and their crowns in the unknown world of tomorrow. The visual representation of a tree that branches at both ends is a model of the universe as a living organism. It is a metaphorical map – the universe outside the individual as well as the internal branches of consciousness in man, with its highest branches in the heavens and its roots deep within the dark underneath.

We, The Citizens



This piece is a jibe at what it means to be a Singaporean. I love my garish palette. Keeps me on the edge everytime.
