Current & Upcoming
Tropic of Perception
Ames Yavuz Gallery
📍Singapore
10 May 2025 - 21 Jun 2025
Tropic of Perception explores how perception is shaped by shifting environments, cultural narratives, and sensory experiences. Focusing on states of flux and transformation, the exhibition considers how these forces influence memory, identity, and the way knowledge is formed.
Rather than a geographical reference, the title points to an internal terrain—a psychological and emotional space where perception is unstable and continuously reconfigured. Through diverse media, the featured artists engage with material and immaterial elements, examining the tensions between the real and the imagined.
The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on how their perceptions are shaped: How do our surroundings, histories, and embodied experiences mediate what we see and understand? In a time of accelerating change—technological, ecological, and social—Tropic of Perception positions perception as both fragile and powerful: a process of ongoing negotiation. It is a space where reality is not fixed, but fluid—shifting, constructed, and constantly open to revision.

In Her Hands
📍Prestige Art Gallery
8 Mar 2025 - 20 Apr 2025
In their hands, nature speaks
In Her Hands brings together the works of Han Sai Por, Kumari Nahappan, and Kanoko Takaya—three female artists who explore identity, creativity, and ecological consciousness through sculpture, painting, installation, and photography. Their art becomes a dialogue between nature and culture, revealing the profound impact of societal development on the environment.
As globalization and technology reshape our world, nature emerges in their works not as backdrop but as living subject—resilient, fragile, and in flux. Han’s stone sculptures evoke life’s quiet persistence, Kumari’s vivid forms bridge cultural symbolism and ecology, while Kanoko’s layered installations reflect memory and the human psyche within the natural realm.
Rooted in diverse cultural experiences, each artist reimagines our relationship with the natural world. In Her Hands is both an homage to female creativity and a call to reawaken ecological empathy—reminding us that in caring for nature, we shape not only our world, but ourselves.

A Journey of Artistic Expression Across Continents
Kumari Nahappan is a leading contemporary artist in Southeast Asia, known for her vibrant works that draw on nature, ritual, and her cultural heritage. A bold voice in Southeast Asia’s contemporary art scene, Kumari transforms everyday natural elements into monumental sculptures and immersive installations. Her works have taken root across Singapore—from the glowing Nutmeg & Mace at ION Orchard to the 45-meter bronze mural Pembungaan—and bloomed far beyond in cities like Venice, Tokyo, and Manila. With a practice grounded in heritage but always reaching forward, Kumari continues to inspire, teach, and create with a flair that's uniquely her own.
