Letter from an astronaut






Inspired from a poem by Lester Tan, Letter from an astronaut, 
originally published in Ceriph issue one.


You're like the aurora borealis
a shape-shifter that rebels against
constancy but you're beautiful
all the same. I would string the
planets into a necklace for you,
plant a flag on the moon with your
name on it but what does that amount
to now that you're with him and he gives you
all that you want, all that I wish to give
but can't because we fit into each other
like two colliding asteroids. But I am glad
to have been a supernova once in your
universe and all I have now are jars of stardust
which I'll carry with me despite the
heaviness of the fact that stardust
as beautiful as it is still speaks of
the death of a star.





The entire project was mentored by Kelley Cheng (Owner of Press Room), this publication was a collaboration between me and another apprentice also mentored by Kelley Cheng. The final publication was exhibited during NOISE Festival 2011.
The mentorship program is set-up by NAC (National Arts Council).

SIA Cargo Competition//Deliverables

Athens to Hanoi, now only 10cm away

Beijing to Texas, now only 15cm away

Hanoi to Perth, now only 6cm away

Kuwait City to Tokyo, now only 7cm away

Perth to Beijing, now only 7cm away

Singapore to Kuwait City, now only 8cm away

Tokyo to Athens, now only 4cm away

Strategy:
As SIA Cargo flies to many major destinations and more, they reduce the physical distance felt between countries, making places seem nearer to each other. We aim to show this by using an action to demonstrate how destinations are literally being brought closer with SIA Cargo’s wide network coverage.

As you can see from the FAs, we did our best to present the ads professionally based on our own capability, no equipment or photography studio of any kind was provided. It has been a very very pleasant experience working with my group members. We are very satisfied with the FA we produced despite not winning the competition! :)
