I was always looking at the immensity of viaducts underneath, and how they relate to the foliage and trees around them. I'm still feeling that vide, but now I'm looking at it in a more suggestive way, telling a story and hinting at hidden pathways and unknown passages in the undergrowth! http://www.behance.net/Gallery/IMMENSE/112537 a project I worked on a year ago, now I've re-approached it from a new angle.

Shot over two years, it is an exploration of the different static and transient land forms, architecture and traditions. A rich tapestry, painting an intense visual feast of overgrowth, dilapidation, expansion, history, habitation, religion, colonialism, inspirations, restoration and devistation. Once hailed as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, my mother’s homeland Penang, shares similarities to it’s main population bearer, China. As a changing island, Penang is a melting pot of land reclamation, new highway construction, collapsing heritage sites, family-owned street food stalls, colonial forts, religiouis temples and industrial factories. All of this is made, left and re-made time and time again. The work captures this unique time in Penang’s history â€" a critical moment that sees the fate of the island‘s historical and future landscapes redefined. For now, the resilience of the past is starkly juxtaposed with the rapid rise of of the new. 50 years since its independence and now a developing city that may be unrecognisable in years to come, the island is in a state of anticipation wondering where the balance will be struck. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/FIRST-ISLAND/112525 This project is a photographic portrayal of Penang’s built landscape and the symbiotic relationship between old and new.
