​
Drawing from the landscapes of London and Singapore as my muse, fragments of serene natural vistas are weaved together with the angular profiles of modern architecture - creating a visual symphony that resonates with the complexities of our environment. Within this collage, soft washes of watercolour meld seamlessly with bold strokes of acrylic, each stroke a testament to the interplay of opposing energies. While exploring the subtle nuances of balance and discord between nature and urbanity, perceptions of harmony and dominance are challenged.
​
Through this tapestry of juxtaposed realities - the audience is invited to reflect on the intricate web of connections that bind us to the natural world and have a renewed appreciation for the delicate equilibrium that sustains our planet and the role each of us plays in its preservation.
