Helping Kids Deal with Complex Emotions
Commissioned by Esplanade Offstage.
Text by Joelle Cecilia Quek.
Writing about the creative process behind The Feelings Farm, a play by Amanda Chong, with music by Julian Wong and directed by Edith Podesta, was an emotional journey that I'm thankful I had the opportunity to experience. The team worked with children from complex backgrounds and seeing their inner world represented in their artworks and the theatre piece was a very humbling encounter.
'VICES' Music Video
Commissioned by Tabitha Nauser.
I documented the behind the scenes of Tabitha Nauser's music video for VICES, her first release as an indie artist. The superhero-inspired shoot spanned two days and saw our entire crew braving the trip to Ubi as well as utilizing greenscreen for some otherworldly effects.
