Not just Oxygen.

Trees are not only for oxygen. Other than bearing fruits, trees have held great value and respect in old tales and myths. Back then nobody knew about carbon dioxide or oxygen or any of the science stuff. Trees were given meaning, they were treated as gods and were worshipped.

We all are aware of the concept of the Tree of Life, other examples (according to Wikipedia) of tree worship across different religions are the Banyan tree and Peepal tree in Hinduism, the Tree of Knowledge in Christianity and Judaism, the Bodhi tree in Buddhism and the Christmas tree in Germanic mythology.

To think that trees are only here for us is kind of selfish, it's good to know that trees have held so much importance in the past so why not give them the same now? Not for our own purpose but for them.

This is a shot of my friend, he is actually very short, but he will look tall if we see it from a different angle, just as how we are living now, even though sometimes we faced difficulties, but if we look at it from a different angle, you may see hope.

 



Protected yet Imprisoned

There are times when you feel so much pain and anguish that you never wish to experience it again. So you build a wall around yourself to protect you. And i don't mean the wall as in the visible slab of concrete that keeps you safe from the outside, the wall which you can easily break. The wall I speak of is but a mere figment of imagination that cannot be seen by anyone except the holder themselves, and it cannot be broken as easily as one might think. For in order to break them, you need to break the very person who built them up.

You put up the wall not only to keep yourself from hurting others, but also to keep others from hurting you.

But there are consequences to putting such things around you. For the longer you put them up, the longer you isolate yourselves from those around you. You would wish to open yourself up and let others in, but because you're afraid of the past repeating itself, you stop yourself from doing so, and it not only hurts yourself, but those around you as well.  And in the end, even though you're with your friends or in a crowd, you can still feel the loneliness inside you. And now, the very wall that you put up to protect yourself, becomes the very thing that imprisons you, that stops you from moving forward.

This is the meaning behind the picture that i show you. The glass heart shows the fragility of your own, and the cage represents the wall that I speak of. The wall that protects you, and the wall that imprisons you.

Old and New

This is a photo taken from the void deck of my block one day when I was going back home. A lift renovation was being carried out at my block recently. The one on the left is the old lift and the one on the right is the newly renovated lift. It relates to me in a way that even an art piece from the past can be redesign, having the functions and concept of it staying the same, the atmosphere being created is different all together. Reminding me of the ever changing world we live in today, will become a history for the future to take reference and make better changes in their lives.

Addicted portray my strong liking and constant craving for ice-cream. It is so strong that whatever I see around my surrounding becomes one. Ice-cream is one of my favorite pastime treats since I was young as it assists me in alleviating my mood be it a happy day or a sad day. Thus, bright colors were widely used to express the positive feeling I feel from eating ice-cream. Which I hope to bring to people when they look at Addicted.

This was a fashion event that i went on 17 Oct 2013, it was FIDé Fashion Runway, Marina Bay Sands Convention & Exhibition Center Hall F. The event was organised over the course of the last four seasons, FIDé Fashion Weeks has established Singapore as the third city in the world to have a dedicated men’s fashion week after Paris and Milan. It also created the only Couture Week outside of Paris to feature couturiers endorsed by La Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. The end result is Singapore now offers a unique blend of Asian designers, couture designers and ready-to-wear collections. FIDé’s efforts in producing these remarkable fashion weeks have helped to elevate Singapore to its current position in the rarified club of fashion cities.
