About the artwork

Hong Sek Chern paints the view from Edgedale Plains, located in Punggol, with her characteristic multi-point perspectives. The ordered blocks of flats disintegrate into pools of ink, which could be abstract representations of surrounding foliage. She presents the rows of windows in a bevy of muted hues which are not displeasing to the eye - their shifting colours represent the mixture of personalities that reside in these humble abodes - placed together in a demarcated space with an intermingling of culture, ethnicities and backgrounds.
