About the artwork

Pending is an area in Bukit Panjang, located in the west of Singapore. Hong Sek Chern captures a scene of the various types of HDB flats in ink, in memory of certain blocks that are no longer present as she used to view them. The positioning of defined flats against faded ones show their transient nature, with their existence dependent on the behest of time and government.
