A Conversation on Pushing Boundaries

            Singapore, 2025

Last year, my photography journey was far from fulfilling, leaving me with a sense of dissatisfaction. Despite my efforts, my creative growth appeared to have reached a standstill, as I repeatedly found myself reverting to familiar approaches. While there were moments where I saw potential in some photos, I overall felt that they didn’t meet the vision I had in mind. It became evident that I didn’t give myself the necessary space to evolve. 

Moreover, the increasing demands of my work had a significant impact on my eyesight. The discomfort from two instances of eye infection added to my frustration, which was a real bummer, and I found myself feeling drained more often.

The overall experience left me yearning for more time to rest, refine my photography approach, and hone my craft, thereby pushing my boundaries.
