Perhaps the only way to end a cycle of trauma is to remove its latest vessel from the world.

Navigating the patriarchal landscape, it discusses underlying social, cultural and ideological influences surrounding sexism and heterosexism.
Adopting a whimsical visual language, No Man’s Land surveys representations and records of masculinity, into three outlandish stories, fostering an embrace of this complex yet beautiful construct.
to fill a void is to understand yearning is an exploration of the notion of being insatiable. The questioning of the achievability of contentment and whether one’s void can ever be filled. The reckoning of one’s worth. An unending search for gratification. To liberate the mind by analysing the body.
The installation invites viewers to an immersive experience – mirroring the motion of being spirited away, evoking a sense of wonder and introspection.
And when the earth falls away, to finally witness, a sea of stars.
In the End It’s Only Temporary is an exploration of the intersection between dream and lived experiences, examioning how reality shapes the landscapes of our dreams. It explores the blurred boundaries between these realms, where our dream persona may diverge from our waking selves, revealing our intrinsic fears and desires.
This project uses photography as a medium to materialise dreams, in an effort to make our ideal self a reality. By bringing these fleeting dreams into tangible existence, it prompts us to confront both our fears and vulnerabilities — which like a dream, can be only temporary.
An exploration of the dichotomy between solitude and interdependence, tracing the journey from a desire for isolation to a recognition of the profound need for human connection. Through observation of tides, the artist uses the natural phenomenon to symbolize the ebb and flow of relationships, highlighting the interconnectedness of individuals within the larger fabric of society. As the tides shift, so too do our perceptions of independence and reliance, ultimately revealing the intrinsic bond that binds people together.
A still small voice charts the artist’s attempts at finding herself and her own voice, far removed from her family while on exchange in London. Having been silenced for so long due to familial circumstances, she does not know who she is, what she wants to do in life nor how to live. Neither is she cognisant of her hopes and dreams. It documents her attempt at trying to find and regain her agency, and her will to live, after having battled depression and anxiety for close to a quarter of her life; to look beyond her predicament.
A story of hope, the artist uses photography and confessional poetry as an impetus and a means for her to hold on to life, to press through and to make sense of the perennial dark haze that engulfs yet, strangely, never fully consumes.
Words under the Sun catches a glimpse into the narratives of diverse individuals as they contemplate their idea of God. Each perception of God is its own lived reality, shared organically without pretense and striving.

This project, Moving Past Disgust, is created to help volunteers with higher levels of disgust sensitivity overcome their disgust in order to volunteer for events that deal with “disgusting” things.

Seeking to reveal the disconnect we inadvertently retain regarding the tangible outputs we create using tools as ubiquitous as a digital printer.
The Anxious Chronicles is a unique portrayal of my personal journey with anxiety. By visualising my anxiety through Acceptance & Commitment Therapy as well as humour and satire, I aim to externalise this internal battle and provide a new and lighter perspective towards anxious feelings. I also incorporate illustrations depicting various perspectives on anxiety, as I strive to convey the idea that anxiety is not a burden to get rid of but rather a companion to be understood and nurtured.
Set within a visual space filled with posters, zines, and miscellaneous items, The Anxious Chronicles mirrors the cluttered yet whimsical nature of my anxious but satirical mind.
We don’t have a precise idea of where our food comes from. To most people, vegetables come in plastic bags from a sanitized and air-conditioned aisle. There is a disconnect to what we put on our plates and us and home gardening may bridge that gap. Ledge Gardens is a publication about the growth of crops at home, from a window ledge. It aims to encourage readers to start home gardening themselves too, a slow-paced approach to harvesting and nurturing crops from vegetable scraps. The publication is entirely hand-drawn, and is a detailed documentary of various vegetables grown by the author, the lessons learned and the set-ups used. With this example, hopefully, other beginner gardeners might be inspired to grow their own vegetable scraps too.

Utilising social media as an online resource platform, the project strives to encourage a tidier digital lifestyle through a lighthearted illustration and storytelling approach.
Dating is a multi-faceted and tangled topic. It is confusing even in its complexity, at times exceedingly simple and at other times defying logic. For such a perplexing topic, there is a dearth of local literature or narratives embodying the contemporary Singaporean dating scene especially among youth. I seek to address this need in my FYP by portraying Singapore’s dating scene through a collection of dating stories from people’s youth. The stories will be informed by interviews that I have done. I hope to create a narrative that would recognise our struggles about dating in Singapore and cultivate some solidarity in our suffering.
Jawi Kita is dedicated to revitalising Jawi script usage among Singaporean Malay youths. Despite its historical significance, Jawi script usage has declined due to the adoption of Latin script.

Fuelled by the need for social support and self-understanding in the navigation of young adult existentialism, Project Little Light hopes to encourage vulnerability and human connection through a four-part illustrated book series. Following a semi non-linear narrative, these books speak from a personal voice of vulnerability and aim to highlight the process of unpacking and understanding the emotions of the past from childhood and teenage-hood.
Breastfeeding, especially breast pumping, often encounters societal scrutiny, adding stress to mothers. This can affect milk quality and infant health. My study, informed by personal experience and scholarly research, found that maternal stress influences milk cortisol levels and infant temperament. To communicate these findings, I created an art installation that portrays the intricate experiences of pumping mothers, aiming to foster understanding and empathy. By highlighting the impact of maternal stress on breastfeeding and advocating for supportive environments, this project seeks to inspire cultural change, supporting mothers in various roles.

Entangled States of Being is rooted in the inquiry of the nature of reality, unravelling the connections and complexities of human experience and the relentless pursuit of meaning. Drawing inspiration from concepts found in quantum physics and Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes, Entangled States of Being metaphorically unravels through a non-linear narrative, revealing an intricate connection between life, perception and reality.
At the crux of this project lies the question: do humans possess the agency to shape our reality, or do forces beyond our comprehension predetermine our experiences? As we obtain answers to such existential mysteries, we will reach a fork in the road where we have to choose if these revelations confound us or offer profound tranquillity.
‘GUTS & GRACE’ intricately dissects the anatomy of identity and selfhood. Each doll serves as a vessel embodying the essence of the self, revealing its true and fragmented nature. By weaving together elements of beauty and grotesquery, ‘GUTS & GRACE’ offers an uncanny and haunting portrayal of the self — a paradoxical fusion of allure and decay, where the veneer of beauty masks an underlying turmoil.

Nostalgia: Rose Tinted Glasses is a zine that aims to investigate and explain why this feeling exists, how to better comprehend the nature of nostalgia, while documenting my own experiences with it.
…and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture is a curious attempt to reconnect with the younger self. The project makes use of archival photographs that represent memories of which the artist possesses but has close to no recollection of, revealing the fragility of memories while questioning its reality. Contemplating the “loss” of memory in our “infinite” memory storage, the detachment and disconnect is visually represented through physically manipulation of photographs, which highlights the malleability of perceptions on the memories that we hold dear to our heart.
