+icks is an interactive installation that utilises non-verbal language as a medium to raise awareness about global warming and encourage change for Singaporeans. Through sight, sound, and touch, the project is a sensory experience that revolves around the relationship of cause and effect which is the fundamental reason for global warming. It also adopts psychological theories to analyse humans’ thoughts, behaviour, and emotions for an effective outcome.
swallow me (Again) is a time-based, multi-media installation that seeks to present an abstraction and exploration of the Mother Wound (the inter-generational pain passed between women in a line of inheritance) through the ritualization of physical motions in sculptural interaction.
The artwork presents a speculative emancipation ritual questioning the ideology of healing and its possibility in the context of something so innately present.
Perhaps the only way to end a cycle of trauma is to remove its latest vessel from the world.
Insomnia is a well-known, widespread sleeping disorder that creates difficulties in initiating sleep and achieving a refreshing rest without any disruptions.
But what truly unfolds during the nocturnal hours of someone dealing with insomnia? 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘌𝘺𝘦𝘴 is an interactive installation that allows you to experience the complexity and layers of an individual’s journey with insomnia. This immersive experience invites viewers to take rest while encountering unsettling sounds and visuals. It is an invitation to observe the insomniac or 𝘉𝘦 the insomniac.
Through our individually unique sensory experiences, different scents weave a profound connection to our memories, serving as a potent trigger for memory formation and recollections. The scent of a childhood space, the fragrance of a home-cooked meal, or the unmistakable aroma of a medical ointment—all contribute to the formation of an olfactory map that guides us through the landscape of our memories.
This project aims to explore this nuanced relationship between olfaction and memory, within the walls of my grandmother’s house.
No Man’s Land is a visual commentary of how masculinity is experienced, performed, coded and socially constructed. It explores narratives and their associating nuances through the unconventional lenses of gay men, underlining adversarial relationships developed with masculinity. 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.
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.
In this project, I discover the art of dressing and undressing, transforming these everyday actions into experiences that can be effortlessly accomplished in a single motion. Exploring the creation of a fastening mechanism that is meticulously designed to secure garments with ease. The vision extends beyond mere functionality; it’s about crafting a collection where every piece seem to embody the essence of change just as the morphing of a butterfly.
In many Asian cultures, the pressures of ‘saving face’ and the stigma surrounding mental health often prevents many in need from seeking help for their mental health struggles, leading them to suffer alone in silence.
This is an art installation that people can interact with. It aims to build empathy and spark open conversations about one’s mental well-being, which is a crucial step towards dismantling the barriers of shame and stigma against mental health issues.
Each sculpture is designed to allow one to ‘enter’ into the mind of someone struggling, which challenges perceptions and highlights the shared human experience of mental health challenges. It encourages one to reflect on their mental well-being and empowers them to seek support in their journey through shared conversations of healing and understanding.
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.
Planting Heritage is a project that aims to increase the appreciation of plants amongst young Singaporeans.

Our eating choices affect our health, yet they’re often overlooked or seen as too complicated to start. To obtain healthy eating patterns, people should choose a diet that consists of a variety of foods in balanced proportions. Meals Matter therefore aims to guide young Singaporeans toward healthier eating through three steps: learning key nutrition information, putting it into practice, and cultivating long-term habits of consuming varied, balanced meals by tracking.
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.
‘a-reum’ is a cultural design project inspired by traditional Korean art, symbols and motifs. a-reum explores a journey through Korean heritage and a contemporary fashion adaptation, by delving into the intricate world of bojagis (wrapping cloths).

An ambitious goal, How Far is the Sun? is a fully illustrated watercolour book about what it means to grow up, and the pursuit of dreams.
This project highlights the struggles and stereotypes faced by smaller-bodied women in a world with a kaleidoscope of beauty standards. While there has been a positive attitude shift towards bigger-bodied individuals, representation for the other end of the spectrum is still lacking in our society.
Thick Thrills is a fictional food and beverage brand that aims to help solve the issues they face – by helping women change their bodies to fit right into the ideal beauty standards. Through satire, this project aims to garner empathy for these individuals in a bid for society to be more inclusive and sensitive to the various bodies around us.

In this innovative exploration, Novak delves into the intricate relationship between consumerism and authenticity.
Through its pioneering creation of pills that satiate human longing, Novak questions our prevailing notions of choice within capitalist systems, sparking critical discourse on the future of consumption and societal values.
In today’s society, the fear of failure is often attributed to societal pressure, fear of judgement, and high self-imposed or societal expectations. As a result, failure has become stigmatised. “Not Today Failure” is a project that addresses this fear through a guided journal filled with insights from the designer, short comics, and writing prompts. The project’s goal is to educate and inspire readers to take the first steps towards overcoming their fear of failure in a genuine and engaging way.

With globalization, immigration, and the internet, the crossover of cultures is far more commonplace than it ever has been. As a result, many people around the world have grown up with several cultures, known as Third Culture Kids or Cross-Culture Kids. You Don’t Seem Filipino uses my personal story to reflect on the experience of being a Third Culture Kid. This graphic novel memoir delves into my perspective growing up in the Philippines and Singapore; covering my relationship with language, my experience adapting to a new culture, and the sense of loss many Third Culture Kids undergo.
In today’s world, saving and storing digital data has become effortless. Unlike physical clutter, digital clutter is seemingly invisible, making it much easier for it to pile up on our devices.

…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.
