Ah Gong Chu

Enbloc: For Better or for Worse? This book explores what lies beyond the “overnight millionaire” impression that Enbloc is perceived as. As a resident of an Enbloc estate, I want to show the intimate side that goes on, the lesser-known parts of what redevelopment does and what will be lost to get there.

This publication aims to investigate and uncover the charm behind old places in Singapore to discover what makes these places so significant, to recapture forgotten memories and shine a light on places seemingly ordinary.

A project to give back to the community through a series of visuals that communicate a place’s identity and heritage. By inviting people to see themselves in the stories presented and start a conversation to ponder about the future of our heritage.

I have a plan to expand this book into a series as a personal project. With part 02 documenting my family's journey in our flat from where we started to when we all move out.

Covidiot’s Book of Wisdom

During this Covid19 pandemic we have become more aware of things happening around us.
I started to observe the actions of fellow Singaporeans and how they behave during this pandemic.

I interviewed friends and family on how they coped during circuit breaker and their answers inspired
me to illustrate scenarios based on their experiences.
