Mute

A constellation of cameras lights twinkle and a thousand lenses swivel and bulge
Pointed at me - the compound eye of an enormous dead fly.
I know this is the crucial moment to speak.
The final certain footstep
on the lip of the chasm before the leap.

I open my mouth, beaming.
And my smile soon collapses;
When I realise what I am:
mute.

Frozen Music

I just found pics of this lamp thing that I did for an exercise in year 2. I think we were given 3 hours or so to conceptualize and make a lamp in response to a piece of music written for NUS' Centennial celebrations.

I think my approach was to not think too much about the music/concept and just make something NICE out of the plastic sheets we were given. Haha. And the bullshitting and post-rationalization came after that. And thinking about it some more, that seems to be my approach to a LOT of other projects.

Whack now, think later.

Air

A few months ago I took part in the CDL Sculpture Competition ... and this was my entry.
The idea is to create a sculpture that inspired by the ground itself - half-earth and half-metal.
The name can be read in 2 ways: the English "Air" or the Malay "A-Ir" which means water.
