The artist found a childhood photo of herself in front of this interesting structure that she is unable to locate in Singapore’s current landscape. After some enquiries, she found out it was the iconic Singapore National Theatre. The Fort Canning MRT exit and carpark currently occupies the land.This theatre was built partly through public donations. More than $800,000 of the $2.2 million spent on the structure were public donations, represented by the red bricks. It is also this reason that it had another name, People’s Theatre. Apparently it was a good site to catch the National Day fireworks at the top of Fort Canning then. In 1984 it was closed due to its structural integrity. In 1986 it was demolished to make way for the construction of The Central Expressway. More info at https://www.soundof.art/shop/p/national-theatre &nbsp;

Autumn, the time of harvest, when trees transition from emerald to magnificent shades of gold and amber, spreading a gilded splendour across vast swathes of the countryside. But did you know that leaves don’t actually “turn yellow”? The golden pigments are there all the time, merely masked by green chlorophyll that fade with the cold. Likewise with us, some seasons in life strip away temporary tangibles to reveal eternal spiritual treasures and invaluable strengths that were always within us all along.

This painting is about how the internal landscape of the mind’s eye is influenced by an instinct of trust in what you were created for, and created to do. It is a call to venture into the darkness of ourselves with bravery, knowing that the deep overhaul that personal growth requires is not a lonely task. Each person contains multitudes inside of them, each with their unique interior geography of beauty and terror.

The Peranakan Series was inspired by photographs of various heirlooms from Rumah Kim Choo. The Kasut Manek means 'beaded footwear'. In the old days, it was expected of nyonya brides to bead a pair as a meeting gift for her new husband. Betelnut sets, also known as Tempat Sireh, represented the chastity of a bride. Kamcheng, which means porcelain leaded pots, have come to be known as 'Nyonyaware' to collectors of these colourful famille-rose pieces. The Bridal Skirt boasts impressive embroidery using peking knots to form the motifs of auspicious animals like the phoenix. Bimpoh Lenggang is a ceremonial handkerchief with a ring that Peranakan brides wear on their little finger, with motifs symbolising fertility. Hairpins, also known as 'Chochok Sanggol', was the defining identity of the Malaccan, Singaporean and Riau Nyonyas. The Kebaya and Sarong are intricately embroidered blouses and skirts which Peranakan ladies wear. In place of buttons, the Kerosarang are brooches worn on their blouses. Beaded Shoes were made using micro-beads, the true handiwork of the Nyonyas. More info at https://www.soundof.art/shop/p/sketches-of-singapore-peranakan-series

The term “Eye of the Tiger” is used to describe someone with focus and determination. A spirit of not giving up in the midst of difficulty. This is because tigers have night vision that can help them to see in the dark, up to six times better than the human eye.
