Dying Blush, 2024

Presented for ‘Now Now 2025’, commissioned by New Bahru

46 Kim Yam Rd, New Bahru, Singapore 239351

(Level 2, outside the school hall)

Dying Blush touches upon one's memory of looking out to the horizon, and a feeling of warmth quietly present in those moments. A space to be in, to dream, and maybe to forget.

Now Now 2025 is a series of 6 arresting photographic works of billboard stature and scale commissioned by New Bahru. Featuring 6 local artists that represent a zeitgeist of Singapore’s here and now, the works form a bold yet intimate tapestry of moments across this city fossilized by the camera. The intentional placement of each work piques a visual dialogue with specific structures of the old school building, transforming large walls into time portals that freeze-frame moments both real and imaginary.
