Spiral-bound book archiving 10 symbols of Singaporean culture, ranging from childhood snacks to somewhat distasteful habits that Singaporeans tend to portray in public. The title of the book is in Singlish, which is a form of broken English that majority of Singaporeans communicate in. Symbols are 3D-modelled or made into abstract images to reflect the tenuous, multifaceted relationship I have with my home country. Partially inspired by Stefanie Tam’s 3D Catalogue; thank you, Stefanie, for your guidance.

A self-initiated archival book project that lists, documents and breaks down the themes, motifs and cinematic style of Ingmar Bergman, drawing analysis from how his films have evolved from portraying the rebellious nature of youth culture in the 20s to a more in-depth analysis of the female role of society and human relationships in Swedish culture. The book also explores how the director drew from French and Italian film influences, particularly in the first few years of his film career.
