Projects: SAM x Shentonista: Novel Ways Of Dressing

"Seeing this exhibition allowed me to think deeper and reflect about the artwork, and gave me a chance to be more aware of the spaces around me."

“I feel that art is a way of seeing. It’s a way for me to bring joy to others.”

“Art is omnipresent, yet also very intimate. It is meant to unite, and diversify.”

"When we study art, we are taught that there is no singular, real, or proper definition of art, especially in our contemporary context."

The final instalment of a collaborative series with the @singaporeartmuseum where we explore the art of fashion. 

“Art can be anything and everything because art is essentially the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.”

“The art world comes with an unapproachable aura—one that’s so easily dispelled once you come into contact with the people behind it.”

“Sometimes, people don’t understand how much work is needed for set-up—when they walk into the event, everything is completed so they only see the full picture, but they don’t know how much time and prep goes in.”

“Art is an invitation to see the world through someone else’s perspective and encourage empathy through that process, and life is much richer for that.”

“I wasn’t trained in arts until I reached 30—I liked art from a young age but never explored it further in my studies. My work taught me how to dissect the meaning of artworks or exhibitions.”

“I’m not a flamboyant dresser, but I do have an affinity for buying second-hand printed blouses—I have a collection of self-declared ‘aunty’ tops.”

Whether it’s the world of art or fashion, there’s no right answer or set path you need to follow.
