This city by any other name (Would smell just as white) (2012 - 2016)
Archival inkjet prints, diasec mount, 88.5 x 54cm

This city by any other name (Would smell just as white) considers the matter of larger environments, and is a series of abstract contemplations on space and land usage in Singapore. Each image contains an intervention and also an element of white. The colour white was chosen for its varying (and contrasting) connotations, and inescapably, for its political associations with the State. A broader understanding of the forces negotiating social space is evoked, and underlying that, a consideration of the very ideas of progress, home and our relationship with land itself.
