This body of work, taken with the Leica MEV1, was recognised and featured at the Leica MEV1 launch in Singapore, marking a meaningful collaboration with Leica. The inclusion reflects an alignment between my ongoing visual practice and Leica’s commitment to storytelling through observation, atmosphere, and human presence.

As part of the launch, I also took part in an interview video sharing my experience of working with the Leica MEV1 — reflecting on how the camera supports an intuitive, considered way of seeing, and how it integrates into my approach to photographing everyday moments with restraint and sensitivity.

Chinese opera has long captivated me— not only for its rich, vivid aesthetics, but for what it represents within Singapore’s cultural landscape.

This photographic series reflects on a traditional art form that is slowly disappearing from contemporary Singapore. Rather than documenting performance alone, the work serves as a quiet homage to memory, identity, and cultural continuity.

Photographed around temple opera stages and transient performance spaces, the images dwell on moments of pause—where gesture, costume, and presence linger beyond spectacle. It is a meditation on fading traditions, and on what remains in the spaces between worlds.

A street wall and its painted surface are mirrored by rain-soaked ground, briefly intersected by a passerby. The photograph lingers on the contrast between permanence and passage.

This portrait of a Chinese opera performer was photographed in Singapore and featured in the StreetSoup exhibition and catalogue. The image focuses on gesture and stillness, capturing a quiet, understated moment within the rhythm of performance.

The photographs were exhibited at the Treviso Photographic Festival and Venice Photo Lab — annual, free outdoor photography events held in Treviso and Venice, Italy. Both festivals transform city squares and historic cloisters into open-air galleries, presenting a diverse range of photographic work across street, documentary, portrait, landscape, and architectural genres, with a strong emphasis on community, accessibility, and public engagement.

Between Worlds is an ongoing photographic project shaped by moments of transition and quiet observation. The work exists in spaces where boundaries soften — between movement and stillness, public and private, ritual and routine, presence and absence. The images resist spectacle and immediacy, favouring restraint and ambiguity. Meaning is not imposed but allowed to surface gradually, shaped by light, gesture, and the quiet relationship between people and their surroundings.

At Hong San Temple, a visiting Chinese opera troupe from China prepares, waits, and performs. The photographs linger on moments of stillness and transition, where tradition is embodied through repetition, labour, and restraint.

Timeless Singapore is a photographic project that reinterprets contemporary scenes to resemble images from an earlier time. Through restrained framing, muted visual cues, and attention to enduring details, the photographs are shaped to feel detached from the present. Rather than recording change, the work seeks to strip away temporal markers, allowing familiar places and moments to exist as if outside a specific era.
