Skills

Spray-painting/Mural
Fascinated by graffiti art since 1998, I embarked on a journey across Asia and Europe to collaborate in global festivals, exhibitions, and residencies. Working in public spaces taught me resilience—embracing impermanence, adapting to unpredictable environments, and trusting the creative process under pressure. This deep relationship with space and movement naturally expanded my practice into performance and installation art, where I continue to explore human presence, environment, and temporal form.
Sculpture/ Installation Art
Formally trained in sculpture and installation art at LASALLE College of the Arts (Diploma & BA Hons), I bring extensive expertise in working with metal, clay, wood, and fiberglass. My practice spans both gallery and public settings, with notable exhibitions and major site-specific commissions for prominent cultural institutions including Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, the Singapore Art Museum, and *SCAPE.
