Yoursingapore.com (2013)

The National Library of Singapore, in partnership with Salon Projects, explores this aspect of our heritage in the exhibition, Campaign City: Life In Posters. Appropriating and reacting towards the campaign slogan, the artist poster attempts to explore if Singapore’s identity has merely been blurred into a brand culture for others. It also critiques on Singaporeans techno-centric culture.

Uniform Girls (2012)

Captured in manicured nature, Uniform Girls seek to explore the idea of constructed bodies and identities. Talents were being clothed in distinct cultural costumes. With kind credits to: Rachel Lim, Danielle Lu, Michelle Tan, MinYi Tan, Rachel Sim and Wong Ruyi.

Diary.sg (2012)

Diary.sg attempts to explore the online sociology and psychology of Singapore female Generation Y Netizens. Through interviews, photographs and augmented reality technology, the artist explored both their domestic and public persona. Her multimedia photographic installation allows the audience to travel into the cyber realm. Juxtaposing the online and offline reality, she hopes to question viewers about the presentation of identity and reality of today's digital age.

Same Same but Different (2011)

 Same Same but Different is a documentary project which explores both the relationship and identity of twins in Singapore. It sparks from the desire of the artist who is a twin herself, who wanted to explore how much of her identity was an anti-thesis of her twin. She sought to identify with other young twins alike who were in the phase of transiting into adulthood.

Waiting in transit (2009 - 2010)

Even in the remote Hong Sui Village, young girls are not spared the influence of China’s rapid development. Caught up in the ambition of an entire naion, the only route of realizing their dreams seems to lie in an education away from home. From the age of 6, these girls are sent to Wang Xia, a nearby town for elementary school education. Home is now where they return to on weekends. From age 12, they move to Chang Jiang, a more developed town, to attend high school. Vasr tranches of their adolescent years are spent away from home. When high school is finally behind them, some compete for jobs in the larger towns, while others return to the village. Peel back the layers of fear, confusion and anxiety that accompany each Hong Sui Village girl as she journeys away from home towards the promise of an ideal future.
