I reflect upon transnational identity and the Singaporean diaspora whereby my identity is indefinitely morphing. Often trapped in confusion about being ‘not Singaporean’ enough, I find solace in the multicultural influences in my life. My works develop in response to the cross-cultural fragmentation and fragility of my self-identity and surroundings.

We are made of fragments that harmonise into our unique selves. The puzzle pieces of who we are are not absolute but fragile and ever-changing.
