For Decades is a series reflecting on Singapore’s past general elections. It isolates fragments from an archival image of a 1976 lunchtime rally at Fullerton Square, focusing on the people in the crowd and highlighting the role of citizens. The use of aluminum as a printing surface symbolizes the rigidity of the state’s democratic framework, while its reflective quality invites viewers to confront their own actions and choices.
Originally exhibited at Schoolhouse Studios in Melbourne in 2019, the installation featured seven prints arranged throughout the space to create an immersive experience. The layout encouraged viewers to move through the space, evoking the feeling of being part of a rally. Each print, mounted on tilted stands, represented a message for the audience to reflect upon, while the final blank print symbolized the “future” and citizens’ role in shaping democracy.

For Decades 是一组深刻反思新加坡历史上几次大选的创作系列。它从1976年富乐顿广场举行的午餐集会档案照片中提取片段,聚焦于人群中的民众,突显公民的作用。铝材作为印刷媒介,不仅象征着国家民主体制的僵化,也通过其材质的反射性质促使观众反思自身的行动与选择。
