Note to the exhibition:
​
​
Growing up as a "third culture kid", "transition" and transcendence" are always emphasized in the artist's paintings. Be it a moment of travel. lit-up sky-crappers, disappearing watermark on the curbs, or temporarily occupied cafe seats. Even in the paintings of quiet settings, lights and shadows are evidently dramatized, evoking an unsettled sense of foreboding or mystery.
​
In this series which the artist explored extensively on rain and city lights, the concrete structures of buildings are masked by warm glows, running reflections and the glares from car lights. The portrayed space is thus fantasized, morphing into something almost intangible; a parallel to her loss of rrot culture, and in turn, reaching for solace and re-identification in a temporary residence. 
​
"Back Alley" is a body of work that the artist have been expanding since 2014. The phase, "back alley" was originated from " slums". The narrow lanes of Singapore are far from its original meaning. It is where tropical vines crawled up on the aged back doors, housewives and maids gather to chit-chat, restaurant staffs and office workers have a smoke break, the elderly play chess and cats game hid and seek. In a metropolis, front streets are like infinite masquerades charming the world with its artificial glamour, speed and complexity. Back allies, on the other hand, are true essence of the city. At those forgotten corners, one is able to rest their body and soul. Back allies in my paintings are magical and surreal, taking viewers to the back of each unique door, where dreams and desires thrive.
