01: The River Of Not-Knowing
The River Of Not-Knowing explores the tension between weight and lightness, belonging and dislocation. Across four years, I photographed between a small apartment in Singapore and the stillness of rural Japan. Though separated by geography and time, the images share a soft, dreamlike quality — light and ephemeral, yet edged with a quiet unease.
Threaded throughout are recurring views from train windows: metal beams cutting across the frame, appearing at beginnings, in-betweens, and endings. The train became both vessel and metaphor — carrying me between home and elsewhere, memory and longing.
In a world where planes take us anywhere and screens keep us everywhere at once, we are always moving yet rarely at rest. This work lingers in that unsettled space — hovering between here and elsewhere, between belonging and dislocation, presence and drift.
