You also used this sentence  in your Yinchuan Biennale display.

What did you intend to communicate through the words and the art?

In your experience, how does producing and displaying art in Singapore differ from other countries? Considering how stringent Singapore is about graffiti and street art in general, does this create any limitations for you as an artist when creating pieces like Asemic Lines which are displayed in public?

What was the reception of the artwork in Chinese majority Singapore?

How does this idea express the meaning behind the artwork?
