"Contrails of His Tender Mercies", 2026

Photography

Every year the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) leave this contrails in the first heavens  on national day week outside of my dining window.

This year is especially meaningful when my family and I made RHC home church, joined a CG, met more folks who shared their lives, struggles, seeking and joy of answered prayers with us & vice versa.

Psalm 119:75-77 embodies how the ice crystal clouds (contrails) formed when hot, humid jet engine exhaust hits cold, sub-freezing air at two different high altitudes intersecting flight paths. RHC has shown us how scriptural living intersects His tender mercies in such graceful fashion.

"I know, O LORD, that Your judgments are right,

And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,

According to Your word to Your servant.

Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;

For Your law is my delight."

(Psalm 119:75-77)

“Lord, these promises were given to be made good to some, and why not to me? I hunger; I need; I thirst; I wait. Here is thy hand-writing in thy word.... I am resolved to be as importunate [persistent to the point of annoyance] till I have obtained, and as thankful afterwards, as by thy grace I shall be enabled.... Thy promises are the discoveries of thy purposes, and vouchsafed [graciously given] as materials for our prayers; and in my supplications I am resolved every day to present and tender them back to thee.” (Prayer of Monica, the mother of Augustine; cited in Bridges)

“The mercies of God are ‘tender mercies,’ they are the mercies of a father to his children, nay, tender as the compassion of a mother over the son of her womb. They ‘come unto’ us, when we are not able to go to them.” (Horne)

“Yet we have no just apprehension of these tender mercies, unless they come unto us. In the midst of the wide distribution, let me claim my interest. Let them come unto me.” (Bridges)

"Singing Inclusively For A Plentiful Harvest", 2026

Digital art

Inspired by real, heartfelt tradition of Christmas Caroling amidst a Perennial Festive Spirit within a Singaporean Christian Home, this collection simultaneously captures those fleeting expressions of singing one's heart out in faith out of love for a diverse, disabled elderly and neurodivergent individuals. Rejecting the reliance on institutional grandiosity or physical sacred architecture, these works relocate the locus of divine presence, which is my interpretation of the Intimate, Active Personhood of the Holy Spirit, directly into the ordinary spaces where Singaporean Christians serve, hence these enduring grace is subsequently revealed through the quiet, micro-moments of life where Singaporean Christians have seamlessly woven themselves diversely into multi-generational, multicultural, and socioeconomic tapestry. I hope my artistic work captures a theology reimagined not as abstract dogma, but as a living, relational praxis. Hence, 2008 UNESCO Penang Murals and Scriptures help serve to direct this work in highlighting art woven into the everyday encounters of Singapore's Christian community across lines of age, culture, and class.

"Singaporean Gospel Lens", 2026

Digital art

Intertwined with real encounters and fleeting yet significant moments, these real encounters captured bear gospel witness through a renewing and redemptive grace, especially since several featured elders have since passed on and many migrant brothers have returned home. Drawing upon 10 years as a professional creative, this collection offers a profound visual reflection on gospel renewal, capturing Christian's interactions with Seniors in Christian Care Home(s) and Migrant Workers receiving Clinical Care through a Christian NGO located in Geylang. That being said, their transient presence also leaves an indelible, soulful mark on the island’s social fabric. Having personally witnessed these contexts between 2017 and 2026, I intended for these works to speak directly to viewers, weaving real-life photographic documentation with street art aesthetics. I simultaneously draw conceptual regional influence from British Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca and Singapore and of the three, I chose George Town, Penang’s 2008 UNESCO Heritage Street Art Movement as the anchor inspiration.

"One Day, I Have To Let You Go.", 2026

Photography & poetry

Raising you, my little girl

Life can feel like a swirl

I fear within a twinkle of an eye

You will grow your wings and fly

I am taught children are like arrows

One day you will find the path narrow

But I can take heart for the One who holds you

Is the One who will protect you

He will surely never let you go

We will always watch you grow

And trust that you will only glow

Brighter as you shine as your own

We will love you always, our little dumpling

With love, Papa and Mama Wong :)

"The Joyful Red Squirrel", 2026

Digital Photograph (1/1000, f/5.6)

The Red Squirrel, native to Europe, is being threatened by the larger Grey Squirrel which generally outcompetes for food it in its natural European habitat. Despite this persecution, the Red Squirrels live on and continue to embrace the lives that God has given them.

As we Christians live in a world increasingly troubled by sin, with increasing persecution in many parts of the world, let us continue to embrace the freedom that Christ has given us.  Let us celebrate our freedom in Christ daily, leaping with joy like this Red Squirrel.

Food colouring on romper

Baby showers are such an RHC thing, not forgetting the quintessential games - guess the size of the baby bump, guess the time and day of birth, or diaper the soft toy. This time, we painted rompers for the soon-to-be-born little one.

It’s a sign of a thriving church community, where growth happens not just through new souls that are saved, through baptisms, but also through generational multiplication.

My 7-year-old painting a romper for the newest member of our CG, passing on the love that his parents and the church have poured into him. From one member to another, growing together and growing old together.

That is what it means to be part of the RHC community.

(Written by Isaiah’s Mom)

"Look Up", 2026

Photography & poetry

It’s hard to be restful in a restless city. How I deal with my restlessness is to go for long morning runs, or walks, and talk to God.

Sometimes He is silent,

sometimes He speaks.

But most often than not,

He whispers through the trees.

Through the sunlight streaming in

Or the gentle breeze.

Through wispy clouds

Or watercolour skies at dawn.

His beauty and majesty are everywhere, if only we take the time to look upward.

"The Bird", 2026

Poetry

This piece was written one evening as I was getting ready for bed and opened my journal. I wanted to write a poem for my front page. Birds are interesting to me and I wanted to include how God is described as a dove in the Bible into it. I prayed to see a white dove one day, and I did that day!

"After All Is Said & Done", 2026

Poetry

This poem was written a few years ago trying to capture the tension of a relationship between two people. How to contemplate love, forgiveness and a posture of moving towards the other person.

It isn’t directly focused on God but the characters of God is expressed by the first person to show love and grace and also their own longing for grace and mercy.

It is in these “cracks” of life that God uses as space for the gospel to shine through the hearts of men, specifically “By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John‬ ‭13‬:‭35‬)

"The Potter", 2025

Ceramic

Every vessel begins with an intention, but rarely ends where I first imagined.

Working with clay has taught me that creation is not an act of control but one of listening. The material has its own rhythm, inviting patience, surrender, and trust. Forms emerge through stretching and resting, refinement and waiting, before they are finally transformed by fire.

As I shape the clay, I am continually reminded that I, too, am being shaped.

My practice is rooted in the belief that we are not self-made. We are formed by the hands of our Creator, through seasons of joy and disappointment, certainty and doubt, waiting and becoming. What appears to be interruption or imperfection often becomes part of the work itself.

Each vessel carries the quiet evidence of that journey. Rather than concealing marks of process, I embrace them as reminders that transformation is rarely immediate and beauty is often revealed over time.

The vessel is not the masterpiece. It simply bears witness to the Master Potter.

"The Beatitudes", 2026

Lyrics & music

God has been placing new worship songs in my heart for as long as I can remember, even when I was a little girl. These songs formed a key part of my worship and quiet time with Him, with the words expressing what I want to speak with Him about in that moment. However, it was only this year that I was really moved to pen these songs down properly, to share what God has given me with others.

For the song “The Beatitudes”, my husband Darrell had mentioned to me once that it would be great to have a worship song written about The Beatitudes. I didn’t actively strive to write one, but when I was out on my bike cycling one day, I was meditating on the verses and the tune of the song just came to me. I felt that it needed to have a driving marching band beat and I wrote it with that in mind.

I hope this song will be an encouragement to those who may going through difficult times.

"You Loved Us First", 2026
Lyrics & music

God has been placing new worship songs in my heart for as long as I can remember, even when I was a little girl. These songs formed a key part of my worship and quiet time with Him, with the words expressing what I want to speak with Him about in that moment. However, it was only this year that I was really moved to pen these songs down properly, to share what God has given me with others.

When I wrote this song “You Loved Us First”, it came from a place of absolute awe of how much God loves me and has repeatedly called me back to Him, has spoken to me, comforted me and has been there for me throughout good times and suffering. The love He has shown me has driven a desire in me to love and serve others in any small way I can, in my everyday life, and that is the transforming power of Christ at work.

I hope that this song will bless others in their time of worship and encourage them in times of need.
