A friend asked me about my piece conceptualised for back in 2012 - thought I would revisit the story now and share via Instagram 🤗

Space Inheritance

Much as a marketplace is where day-to-day business transactions are carried out, Siem Reap marketplaces are also spaces where the children eventually grow up to inherit, almost akin to becoming a neighbourhood of sorts.

Singaporean photographer Zinkie Aw was inspired by how mothers in the area make use of each allotted space situated from within a hustle-and-bustle larger world.

Mothers turn each shopfront into a playground; a sanctuary for their little ones to grow up in.

In all likelihood, each child would eventually grow up to replace their parents’ roles in this society.

Today Singlish Mamashop is on YP SG - Curated Stories. Local Perspectives.



Thanks Eudora for the interview, and here's my fav bit of the conversation :)

"She explains, “I invent and design something, but the users are the other part of the equation, giving life to the product in their own way.” I find her perspective that users and sellers are in some form of “partnership” refreshing."

Thanks to all collaborators who believed and helped in building this brand :) Lim Peiyi Alfred Ng Emma Kelvin Zinkie Aw

They even have Singlish passport cards (that look a lot like the real thing).
