Some pictures of representation observes the fabrication of nature imagery in Singapore, most frequently encountered on temporary construction hoardings. Exploring the photobook as a
medium, the two-dimensional pages act as surfaces that conceal and reveal, mirroring how nature imagery is applied to mask ongoing urban construction. By engaging with multiple layers
of representation through re-photographing images and reproducing prints, the work considers nature as both a social construct and a simulacrum.
