An exhibition space outside the Lee Foundation Lecture Theatre of WKWSCI exclusively for SCI students to exhibit their visual works for free. After proposing the school to set it up, my friends and I set out curating photojournalism works, graphic art as well as photo works from students and from class assignments. We held four two-week long exhibitions throughout the first semester of 2008/2009.

This is a personal name card I created including a book on the creation process. I was heavily inspired by vector graphics and I unwittingly created a “logo” for myself — the pen and pencil in a cup — after much experimentation.
The project made me realise how I was actually creating a visual identity for myself through interrogation, profiling and targeting and that inspired the narrative of the book. The A5-size book mimics a military field guide on “identity deconstruction”, a process I used to create my name card.
The final card was a 9 x 5 cm card printed on Zeta (Micro) paper while the process book’s cover was printed on Zeta (N/Linen) paper.
How do I get from home to school?
Using only typography, this work (above) explored a spatial mapping of my journey to school through the lens of power as I sought to express a battle for control between the planned urbanscape versus my personal imagination of the route.
The work was printed on an A2 sized Kraft paper.
