This image features a photo of myself

Defining myself as a 'culture producer,' I delve into the transformative power of art as a catalyst for change and mutual understanding. Through a post-medium approach, I challenge preconceptions and uncover concealed faults in societal issues, advocating for research-driven creativity. With a focus on critiquing militaristic structures, particularly influenced by my experience with forced conscription in Singapore, I investigate the internalisation of militarism in global perceptions, probing its influence on societal attitudes and norms. By subverting military subject matters and symbolisms, I unveil ironies and disrupt prevailing narratives, aiming to spark conversations on demilitarisation and peacekeeping alternatives.
