In the face of urbanization, Singapore is gradually losing her natural landscapes to make way for residential and industrial areas. The rapid pace of modernization has accelerated this process, leaving few untouched places. Pulau Ubin is one of these few remaining rural landscapes in Singapore, However, the island faces an uncertain future as Singapore continues to develop into a cosmopolitan city, requiring more land to build infrastructure.
My aim for this project is to showcase the rustic beauty of the island to the younger generation through the use of a series of imagery. Through the images, I hope to create an awareness in these young people that such places still exist in Singapore as well as to capture the memories and beauty of this landscape should it be redeveloped in the future.
