Lovers II
2025
Concrete
60 x 60 x 3cm
Once upon a time, two lovers confessed their love into wet cement at two different places in Singapore. Etching confessions into a substance that hardened over time. This declaration transformed into a timeless record weathering rain and heat, meeting an uncountable number of footsteps from pedestrians it has met over its lifespan. It is unlikely that these two lovers ever knew each other. And I donʼt believe in fantasies. Most might say romance is dead in Singapore. It is loveless. It is practical. It is pragmatic. I suppose romance, in all itʼs versions, is true love being grounded.
