Ubin or, life in the woods.

Abstract

Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s book, Walden, this project is an exploration of the wonders of Nature on the island of Pulau Ubin. The installation showcases a series of images and found objects that encapsulates the essence of this last bit of rural landscape left in Singapore. Experimenting with the early photographic salt print process using local seawater, the work speaks of the organic beauty of the island and its ephemeral state.
