Artist Statement - Edited by Kong Yen Ling
An empty shell, some would say, but to me, it is living flesh and blood.
These portraits are a tribute of my remembrance towards the National Stadium.
Throughout its lifetime, it had seen 18 Singapore’s birthdays,
housed tens of thousands of joyous party goers,
and drenched up an infinite amount of the nation’s hopes, disappointments, memories and history.
Against the tide of time, it had since wizened with age - its closure a symbol of its passing.
Yet, it feels vaguely awake, swirling in shallow breadths of a tingling nostalgia.
I can still feel its spirit.
Perhaps it has been interlaced with the piece of sky and the blanket of lights which it laid under,
drifting beneath the wisps of clouds,
peeking from behind the rays of light,
dancing among the specks of stars.
Without having to subscribe to the rites of ephemerality, it will certainly linger on,
outliving the mortality of its architecture.
My first solo exhibition! Do come by and support ya!
