My artwork is a diptych of the stimulus “At my … Window”. It consists of observations I made from my window and further separating them into categories - Man-Made and Natural. I used a variety of methods to record down my findings and experimented with many new mediums. I also incorporated multi-sensorial (e.g. sight, smell, touch etc.) record methods so as to allow the viewer to have a more sensitive and detailed experience.

My painting is of the theme ‘Fragile Strength’ and is based on the Haiku I wrote, “Strong as it seems, a single crack on glass is seen, and becomes weak”. I interpreted it as the buildings are ‘strong’, whereas the ‘fragile’ part comes from the mirror. The mirror is fragile, showing that cracks can easily occur on it when dropped. I wanted to show the contrast through the different views, with and without a cracked mirror. I mainly used blue and grey as I felt that blue symbolises fragility and grey symbolises strength.
