The Seeing Stone

The Seeing Stone by Krystal Yamin

About

As time's arrow marches forward, places significant from my childhood have been bulldozed or redeveloped anew.

Using a seeing stone (inspired by adder stones), I’ll be inviting you to take a look at the old visages of buildings from my past. By revisiting these corners of Singapore, I aim to highlight the contrast in the past and present appearance of these places.

The only constant in life is change. I hope that by juxtaposing a few points of change in Singapore’s landscape and sharing my stories about them that I can invite you to reflect on and appreciate your own memories.

I hope you enjoy the experience!
