projects.

these works represent my efforts to push my boundaries, blending professional collaborations with my personal creativity to bring fresh perspectives and new ideas into my art.

As part of Khaétives’ rebrand, Solstice is about reflecting how Khaétives now fully recognises its own value, growth and identity. -a quiet flex of maturity and knowing it’s impact, even if others don’t see it.

It is followed by 4 different artworks representing the glow, soft, intentional and powerful beginning into a new era, each titled Solstice, Lustre, Gilded and Aurora respectively. (‘Gilded’ and ‘Aurora’ to be released soon).

Solstice

Starting off with Solstice, this piece is inspired by the golden hour where it signals a transition - quiet yet immense in significance. It also marks a powerful cosmic shift - either the longest day or the longest night of the year. It’s a turning point, a pause before change, where stillness holds deep meaning, much like the golden hour. It’s when the sun stands still, but everything begins to move in a new direction.

Lustre is shown as not loud but luminous - it lives in the gaze. It’s the quiet glow of inner worth, with Solstice being reflected in the eye, the shimmer of skin, the softness of presence. Not a glare, but a glow; timeless, elegant and deeply felt. A beauty that doesn’t speak loudly, but stays.

The stars beneath the eyes aren’t just decoration, they are symbols of quiet dreams, of wishes held close yet burning brightly. Their placement speaks of innocence, hope, and the beauty of becoming.

Medicine: of Letting Go

Medicine: of Letting Go is a reflection on the people who stood by me during my healing journey and darkest moments. This project is seperated into three parts; The Art of Letting Go(1): Acceptance, The Art of Letting Go(2): Restorative, and Medicine: of Letting Go.

The project focuses on ten flowers, each symbolizing a different element that supported my healing journey from a difficult past and painful memories.

The first part, The Art of Letting Go(1): Acceptance, embodies themes of Trust, Calmness, New Beginnings, Strength, and Thankfulness. It represents the personal transformation that comes with growth—learning to stay calm, trust yourself despite past mistakes, finding the strength to move forward, and feeling thankful for those who supported you as you begin a fresh start.

The Art of Letting Go(2): Restorative. continues the journey from starting anew, focusing on embracing self-love. It’s about freeing yourself from guilt, choosing to let go of the past for the sake of your own happiness, and holding onto hope for the peace you truly need and deserve. This chapter introduces a new set of flowers representing Understanding, Purity, Forgetting the Past, Happiness, and Hope.

The final chapter, Medicine: of Letting Go, does a subtle reveal that the flowers are representations of the specific people who helped me in my chapter of healing. The term “Medicine” is used instead of just “Flowers” to describe these individuals because to me, they were the ones who helped ease the pain, brought comfort, and made things feel lighter.

The flowers from the first two chapters return here, representing those meaningful connections and reinforcing their role in the journey. Alongside them is a visual metaphor of myself: a vase with visible cracks, symbolizing the pain and memories of the past.

Accompanying this chapter is a video of a bestfriend of mine speaking over a call, sharing a heartfelt and in-depth reflection on what it means to recognize these “medicines” in our lives. Her voice plays over a montage of joyful, intimate memories—captured moments from the timeline between when the painful memories began and when it finally started to fade, followed by two drawings of the chapter’s breakdown.

Hug - The Blue Ribbon

The blue ribbon plays a significant role - it symbolizes a hug. It not only holds the vase together but can also be used to gather all ten flowers into a single, beautiful bouquet. This gesture reflects a mutual embrace: one from me to my people(represented by the various items in the artwork, each symbolizing someone dear) and one from them to me.

This second piece, titled Light, marks the closing of the chapter. The light in the artwork represents hope. As it shines on the flowers, it quietly suggests that “sometimes, all you need is a little light” to realize that beauty can exist even in what is broken. The vase, despite its cracks, holds the flowers - it holds love, healing, and quiet strength. The message is simple yet profound: “Fill your life with love, with people who remind you that you are more than your broken pieces.” It’s a tender ending to a journey - one of acceptance, love, and ultimately, the courage to let go.

AWLA - ‘Ageless & Allure’

A second collaboration with Awla, where I designed prints inspired by the letter "A". The design concept was centered around the elegance and simplicity of this letter, which was then translated into the unique patterns for their collection.

My original creation of Eid 2023 green packets

I was given the exciting opportunity to step outside my usual practice and design my friend's wedding invitation, along with other related wedding materials. It was a rewarding experience to bring her vision to life and create something truly personal and meaningful for such a special occasion.

I also had the pleasure of designing a custom wedding mirror for another friend's special day.

As a graphic designer at SCDF, I had the opportunity to apply my skills in creating illustrations and designing multiple materials for public outreach and various events.

This character was created as signages to guide the public during the Shelter Open House at Gardens by the Bay MRT Station.

Key visual elements for SCDF's Annual Event, the Junior Civil Defence Lionhearter Challenge, which is aimed at primary school students in Singapore. I contributed by conceptualizing the theme, designing the characters, and various other assets to help bring the challenge to life and engage young participants in an exciting and educational way.

In 2024, the chosen theme was ‘Comic Superheroes’, which I brought to life through my design direction.
