Living in Singapore is a hot and humid experience. Sweat sticks to the skin, and our body temperature fails to regulate itself. Escape from the humidity in air-conditioned buildings, the kind that provides orderly comfort to this city. Humid, Forever ruminates on the invisible sense of home the weather provides. But only by ceding control to randomness, do these photographic cyanotypes see life. Handprinted onto naturally dyed handkerchiefs made with avocado food waste, the results are an alchemy of UV rays, alchemy, and a photographic interpretation of home.
