Surface

From the "Surface", Singapore is a modern and high-tech society. It is hard to believe that just below the "Surface", Chinese superstition such as preference for the lucky number "8" is prevalent. This is one of many aspects of Singapore that is fascinating to me, a foreigner who now resides in Singapore.

My print represents this fascination. What I printed is what I see from the "Surface" of Singapore, whereas what the overall print represents is the cultural tradition that continues to exist beneath that "Surface". This contrasting difference divided by the "Surface" is what makes Singapore a unique country.
