“RawGround: Clutter … should be applauded for giving its artists the
space to play and ruminate, and for allowing the audience the rare
opportunity to be part of that learning process.”
Nabilah Said, The Straits Times, 2017
“Indices of Vanishment … a wonderfully weird work.”

As Singapore is approaching our 6 million mark towards population
growth for our tiny country, many would ask, will life be too congested
for the little red dot hereon? What will happen to the living conditions,
quality of life, work and education, in this fast-changing nation?
As well as against other regional countries and the world? So, if ‘Clutter’
is defined as an obesity of mind, environment, humanity, objects and
activities, then, is ‘Declutter’ merely eliminating and transforming
our space to express our purpose, turning something useless into
something useful, being more honest with our relationships or
simplifying our lives in order to find our spiritual roots?
We question the paradigm of Clutter by looking inside, outside and
around ourselves.
