What I seek when I photograph in Singapore are moments of peculiarity in a desensitized society. Just like the spaces around us that are highly regulated, most of our people also show a mirror effect of the isolation, apathy and rigidity in our public spaces. But once in awhile, an anomaly breaks the current and takes place right infront of the camera. "Very un-Singaporean" or quite out of character.

A human interaction among stranger faces? A ruckus on the mrt?

These are the scenarios that interest me because each one of them has the power to slowly redefine who we thought the Singaporean is. In this photo, it wasn't all that difficult to notice the Filipino boy's eyes in a sea of crowded bodies. I guess he was there to witness the festive lights along Serangoon Road.

One of the reasons why Little India is my favourite playground is because of how organic the location is - uncontrolled and unregulated by the state - and this can be seen in the bright colours that they paint up everywhere around the place.

If you are driving south towards the tip where Bangladesh ends and Myanmar begins, you would pass by several congested towns along the way. In between them, there are what seems to be a few villages scattered at the edges of the forest too. Once in every few hundred meters, these 'village settlements' would poke its head out from behind the trees, teasing anyone with the curiosity of a child to come wander in.

It is only then that the realisation becomes clearer; these are not different or individual villages, separated from one another.

Walk a little bit further in and you will start to see that this, and not these, is ONE massive sprawling refugee settlement.

So vast that it could fit more than 470 soccer fields into it.
All of it - in the middle of a jungle.
