Reminiscing art

Ed Vebell “Loneliness Is Dangerous”; Harry Coren (1955) Sunday Mirror Magazine, August 14, 1955. “Alone in the midst of millions, the girl, who longed to talk to someone, stood on her fire escape as the voices of others, enjoying the companionship denied her, drifted up through the night.”

A piece I completed this evening. "A world self absorbed with itself. People going to a fro-concerned about only themselves. Amongst them walks a woman, naked, cold and vulnerable and no one offers comfort-not even an umbrella...I am uncertain if she reaches her destination but I would like to believe that someone, just ahead, will give her a coat, an umbrella and perhaps something to eat.."

This 37m long mural at Changi Airport Terminal 4 Basement level reminisces the old Changi days before Changi Airport was built in 1970s. From aeroplane-watching at Changi beach, to peeking over the fence of the Royal Air Force Station; From playing ‘tarik upih’ with village kids, to shopping and dining at the variety of shophouses lining Changi Village; The mural transports you to a charming old world brimming with new aspirations.
