The exhibition “…let there be light” explores the beauty of nature as captured through the lens of Mahesh Nair. Light, unquestionably, is the most critical component in most art forms, including photography. It is also an essential part of life itself! By using light to dramatize and highlight the beauty of nature, these photographs paint a unique picture of the natural world around us. Part of the proceeds goes to WWF.

Emotions drive individual to act in certain ways, and in the same way the emotion within them drive themselves to create a mask – a mask characterized by the emotion from within oneself.

HanoiHaiku
19 June - 05 July
By Sherman Ong
Shown as a complete series for the first time in Singapore, these works were made in Hanoi, Vietnam during my residency with the Goethe Institut Hanoi. Presented like a visual Haiku, the works are intentionally left untitled; the juxtaposition of images produces their own narratives, temporal connections, and is open to many interpretations infused with the personal experiences of individual viewers.
