Tissue Seller delves into the quiet, everyday hustle of Singapore, where individuals sell tissue
paper outside hawker centres and MRT stations. The figure, enveloped in the artist's
signature monochrome tones, reflects the dualities of human existence—where identity
often blends with the roles we play. Through the use of black and white, the artwork explores
the mask we all wear in the busyness of life, emphasizing the tension between presence and
anonymity. The subtle introduction of colour in the tissue packs highlights moments of
significance amidst the routine. In this work, the artist captures one of Singapore's unseen
"petrichors," the essence of life's quiet endurance, evoking both the mundane and the
extraordinary in the city’s rhythm.
