Initial prep work for @commonlynoun space

What if Adam was incited to steal the fruit and kept it for himself. Eve was never tempted but instead, tempted the snake. What world would we be living in then? Perhaps, I'm bordering on blasphemy by taking a Biblical story and twisting it. Anyway. I like to think that that's what we do everyday. We consume stories and piece them together to form different versions of 'truths'. Then, we pass it along with careless whispers and these truths become even more fragmentized and misconstrued. How lovely, isn't it.

Own nonsense thing wip

This is for S, who also suffers from renal failure since young. He's on the road to recovery with a kidney transplant but it is not a smooth journey. But that ain't stopping him. My memory of S is strength, calibrated positivity and resolute. He is the master of his own fate. This year, he's gone back to school and enjoying it so much so that he said this is the best thing that's happening to him in a decade (other than meeting Metallica in person. Yes, favorite band. He showed me pictures even). He wants to pick up guitar and drums. He's got dreams but he's also focusing on the present. He knows life is short, time is precarious, circumstances are unexpected, especially for someone like him. When I asked him, what do you believe in? He answered, "It's not the years in your life that counts. It's the life in your years." Abraham Lincoln said that but well said too, S. #tellmeyourstory #iseeyouseeme These short life stories that I've collected and visually interpreted will be displayed along the Esplanade tunnel from Aug 6 to 8 Nov. I invite you to swing by if you've the time to 'see' these people. They've been very generous in sharing their life stories. In turn, I hope they speak to you in a language you understand and appreciate. 😊

@miun is an artist. She does floral sculptures, experimental photography and illustration. I've adopted her experimental approach to her craft by inking straight to the paper without sketching in pencil first. The photographic element is missing in this impression but, when or if a viewer takes a picture of 'her', she, as an artist is complete. Because, art communicates. If it relates to someone, or speaks to someone in a language that is specific to him/her, art has fulfilled its purpose. The role of the artist is also fulfilled. Hope you like it. ✌ #tellmeyourstory #iseeyouseeme

The greatest surveillance isn't Big brother. It's the Self.

Glitz and glam is, but a sham. Okay, no, that's not what @shazzaw story is about. It's far from that. In fact, it's Hilarious. Absurd. Weird. Look for it and have a good laugh about it from Aug 6 onwards okay? #tellmeyourstory #iseeyouseeme PS: I knowwwww this artwork isn't funny. But hey, visuals ain't competing with words, yes?

@helloembrace spent some time in Stockholm some months back and felt her best among nature. I get you, girl. Like you, me and nature? Best friends forever. #tellmeyourstory #iseeyouseeme
