WILD NEIGHBOURS: Discovering Singapore’s Wildlife Through Family Adventures

Wild Neighbours is a family-focused travelling roadshow that educates Singaporeans about native and lesser-known wildlife living within their own neighbourhoods.

Designed as a collectible weekend adventure, families travel across different zones in Singapore to participate in activities, collect limited-edition items, and learn about endangered species illustrated in an approachable cartoon style.

Addressing wildlife blindness, the project reframes local wildlife not as distant or dangerous, but as co-inhabitants of the same environment. Wild Neighbours encourages greater awareness, curiosity and appreciation for Singapore’s biodiversity.

EXIT

EXIT is a project that explores the idea of escape through images featuring stairways or hallways, to draw viewers towards a central point that suggests a way out.

Guided by EXIT signs and basic human intuition, the spaces appear to offer an escape from an eerie environment. However, the project reveals that ultimately, there is no escape.

Image

This was taken at the mall behind Wilkie Edge, in a place illuminated in blue light. The staircase leads to the bridge area, while the doorway has been darkened to give a sense of eerieness, with the EXIT sign pointing towards the void.

The original image at the top was also taken at the mall behind Wilkie Edge, where this sign was captured and the fitness sign was removed to create a sense of dread for the viewer.
