I am honored that my work was selected for the 2024 SAM S.E.A. Focus Art Fund. Established in 2023, this fund recognizes iconic works of contemporary Southeast Asian art by facilitating their entry into the Singapore Art Museum’s collection.

This initiative is made possible with the generous support from the Yenn and Alan Lo Foundation. The panel of jury comprised Guest Juror, Ms Mami Kataoka (Director, Mori Art Museum), Dr Eugene Tan (Director, Singapore Art Museum), and Ms Ong Puay Khim (Deputy Director, Collections and Public Art, Singapore Art Museum).
