Daydream Topographies
‘Daydream Topographies’ is a duo-exhibition with my collaborator Audrey Doyle. We took the conventional two-person show as a point of departure, and exhibited alongside our work, collaborative paintings that we made together. The joint impetus for the exhibition was our ecological consciousness–mine developed through long distance bike rides in and out of the city, and Audrey’s through her numerous camping and road trips.
Roadmap to the Future
‘Roadmap to the Future’ is a large collaborative painting between myself and my K-12 students and community at the Glen Oaks Library, Queens. Titled 'Roadmap to the Future', I asked students and community participants to envision what a sustainable and equitable future might look like – what their dreams are for themselves and their community and how might humans live equally in the future.
A Particular Place
‘A Particular Place’ is a public-facing wall mural in Kampong Gelam, a heritage neighborhood in Singapore, where I received a public grant together with two other collaborators, Akai Chew and Leow Wei Li, to create a mural that celebrates the heritage and history of the neighborhood for a local architecture festival (Archifest 2023).
A Spring of Stories
A Spring of Stories is a community project where we gathered stories from a local community around the Sembawang Hot Spring Park in Singapore, and presented them in the form of a choreographed dance and painting exhibition.
