Reflections have captivated me since I was a child, when I used to think of mirrors as portals into a parallel world. That is perhaps why I take great joy from capturing reflections with the camera, be it one taken off a shop window, a mirror, and especially off puddles of water. In the set of photographs seen below are 37 reflections taken across Singapore. They include ones of places that we see everyday, ones that are a little harder to get to, and a few of places that no longer exist.
Boat Quay on the right bank of the Singapore River bathed in the early light of day. Good Friday on Victoria Street – a touch of Portugal in Singapore. Memories of School. The Masonic Lodge, aka Rumah Hantu. A altocumulus morning on the Singapore River. Sunrise at the meeting of the Kallang and Rochor Rivers. A memory of the lost coast at East Coast Road? The Thekchen Choling. The $outh BANK. Seat of Power – the former Pasir Panjang Power Station. A memory of the swamp off Lavender Street? The Leong San See. The first million. Barricaded Coast. Five times two. I remember a pond with gold fish. The third edition of the family. A memory of the northern coast. St Andrew’s cross-ing. A celestial reflection – the former Celestial Resort turned Ubin Living Lab. Farewell 13 Wilkie Terrace. The North Bank. A reflection on the Singapore Soul. The Capitol. Overgrowth. A memory of the Beach – the since demolished Beach Road Police barracks. A golden morning. Watering hole. (Still) hanging around – the last hangar of Kallang Aerodrome. Merdeka Bridge guardians. A memory of the lost marshland at Kallang. Colonisation of the southwestern isles. No more pressure. At the end of 30 years. St Gregory’s disPlace(d). The promised land. The lost teluk at Telok Ayer?
