    2019 - ongoing, photography

    Gazing out of the window of my room, I feel as if I am looking at a natural world that has seemingly integrated into part of this highly urbanised city-state. It makes me wonder if the urban forest is part of the city, or if the city is part of the urban forest.

    Inspired by the singalong event "Sing Together Singapore", I decided to edit my own version of everyone coming together united as one.
