Fragments: A body’s reckoning with its own bloodline
This is a corporeal archaeology—unearthing what lineages bury in muscle and bone
Premise. When tradition is inherited through silence, the body becomes both archive and battleground.
This work excavates the fractures of a diasporic identity (Chinese-Singaporean, Krump practitioner) through the destruction and reordering of cultural symbols.
