charting the struggles of the LGBT community in Singapore
- I read about how transgendered individuals felt like the society they lived in had no space for their existence, and how they had a clear understanding of who they were despite everybody else's disapproval for who they want to be. I decided to look into issues pertaining the LGBT community in Singapore because it's a community that needs their voices to be heard. Although none of us can ever understand how they truly feel, the least we can do is to lend a ear and listen to what they have to say about what they feel about themselves.
Goodbye Dakota Crescent
A 16-page booklet designed to tell a story about a culture of a particular place. I chose to deal with the loss of physical spaces in Singapore due to rapid transformations as a result of our constant need to catch up with modernity because of my interest in History.

Documentary
Behind Closed Doors is a project on people living in rental flats in Singapore. It aims to unravel stories of seemingly average Singaporeans living behind these compartmentalised units that looks the same on the outside, but we only realise their differences when we step into these units.

The main message of the video "Visible but unidentifiable, there's more than meets the eye" aims to emphasize on how average these Singaporeans are, but there's more than we can see until we actually take an extra step to talk to these Singaporeans and understand their stories.

Passing Through
Written & directed by Gina Chew, the film is about how we move in and out of each other in life - often never making solid connections or touching base.
Filmed & edited by Joo Hwee, she uses handheld shots & a pastel hue to represent the dream-like world for the guy, contrasted by the still shots with a cooler tone to show a world where individuals cope with their own struggles. This segment of the film is inspired by Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express.
