BREATHE

Today was the opening reception and conversations feed my mind greatly. I found Shubigi's write-up of the works from Bangladesh crisp.

"Sha Najak's works deals with the societal implications of foreign workers in Singapore, with an ethnographic bent. The study of one's origins and the impetus that causes migration is of particular interest to her. To leave behind the land of one's ancestors, to be absorbed into the fabric of another society are threads that are woven in the histories of most nations, and it is these resulting patterns of societal development that become the focus of her work."

In Breathe, six young artists showcase the result of their taking a step back to think, breathe and be inspired. Breathe is a fusion of their aspirations, myriad inspiration, reflections of self, expressed in their medium of choice.
