surrealism in architecture3D modelling done on Blender
Inspired by Dali and Margaritte, I wanted to create transformative, immersive and engaging environments and integrate surrealism with architecture. I wanted to create worlds that are playful, colourful yet futuristic in style and nature.

Bubbletecture: A Children's Igloo3D modelling done on Blender
A 3D model of an elementary school that I designed from scratch. The physical structure of this building is inspired by Lady Gaga's iconic bubble costume and my love for bubbles when I was younger. I also designed the interior of some rooms, including the classroom and the children's playroom. Many windows were added into the structure to provide children with greater exposure to the outside world and foster greater imagination.

The Bread Museumdigital art done on iPad
This piece was basically inspired by my immense love for bread. My vision for this museum was to showcase the magic of bread, including a "build-you-own bread shop and a bread factory in the museum. The structure and design of the bread museum is highly inspired by that of Salvador Dali’s Museum in Spain. I really wanted to create a building that was unique, appealing and just downright quirky in nature. The bread next to the bread museum was meant to be a common space for passers-by to hang around, while also acting as a quirky, colourful and unique skateboard park for skateboarders to go to.

What Is Singaporean Food3D modelling on Blender
Through this piece, I wished to convey Singapore’s multiculturalism through its diverse culinary scene. The 3D model of a building represents a public housing flat, our city’s multi-ethnic melting pot. The windmills, solar panels and driverless transportation depicted represents the environmentally-conscious technology present in Singapore. I also integrated collages in my work to offer multiple dimensions of our culture: steamed layer cake acts as a communal table for activities to encourage greater community spirit.
I then created another digital illustration piece in response to "What is Singaporean Food", which you can find below. |
This Is Singaporean FoodDigital art done on iPad
While portraying Singapore’s positives, I wanted to also evaluate Singapore’s shortcomings in a parallel piece. I chose to highlight Singapore’s struggles with homophobia, discrimination against transient labourers, and the increasing isolation felt by Singaporeans. I titled this piece “This Is Singaporean Food” to answer the question posed by my previous artwork and complete my portrait of Singapore. I wanted this piece to juxtapose with my previous piece: while food once united Singaporeans, food is now what isolates them here.

EerieDigital art done on iPad
When I visited Japan in 2018, I was intrigued by the bustling and active night life in Japan. However, I also imagined myself walking through these streets alone at night- the lights following my own footsteps, the moon always tailing behind me. That imagination frightened me to bits, and I hence wanted to depict the eeriness of the city when there is no one around in this big, bright and bustling city.

Reaching For More3D modelling done on Blender
I wanted to depict the competitiveness, the grit, anger, frustration that comes with being Chinese. The hand/ arm is made with hard metal to illustrate the harsh competitiveness faced in the Chinese culture. In contrast, the small, soft pink balls are Tang Yuan (mochi balls) cooked in sugar syrup and are eaten during important Chinese occasions and represent unity. The metallic texture is spreading onto the Tang Yuan, depicting the frequent competitiveness, comparison and struggle to "be the best" even among family members, thus ruining the purity, innocence and original symbolic representation of Tang Yuan.

Poster design for students' council electionDigital art done on iPad
"Hwallelujah" is the name of my friend's team running for Students' Council. I made use of the school colours- red and yellow in the poster design. I overlapped the hair of the faces to create a more visually-appealing appearance of the poster, while also signifying the figurative intertwining of the team members to depict their teamwork.
