Static Nature
Static Nature is an artist book released alongside Soler Santos’ solo exhibition at Blanc Gallery, Philippines in 2023.
This project was handled by me, from end-to-end, beginning with multiple artist interviews, the book’s essay (as well as translation from Filipino to English), and layout, utilising the grid, which features heavily in Soler Santos’ work.

S.E.A. Focus Singapore
A World Anew
Casting skywards is to behold the cosmos, immense and old as time. Yet other adjacent worlds abound too, if lesser seen.
Microscopic – this universe is held in the tiniest of particles and atoms. Within and without the meta and minute: these dimensions are contra in size and scale. Yet in the phrase “As above, so below”, philosophical thought pondered the “macrocosm” and “microcosm” as spheres that echo and encompass each other.

If we opened people up, we’d find landscapes
The starting point of this show was to explore themes of both dislocation and a simultaneous existence in more than one place, or perhaps the fact of a moving point — me, in transit, forever oscillating between spaces — resulting in a sense of dislocation. The space collapses, the depth of a place flattens, and the layers of the space, instead of creating a sense of distance, are viewed from a pinhole, encased like an image in a photograph.
