Heartland Stray

By Christopher Tey Rui Fang

An evocative portrait of an urban wanderer, a stray cat in Singapore's heartland, capturing a moment of quiet resilience and introspection. A quiet presence that is frequently overlooked, yet is implanted in the rhythm of everyday life. With the stray cat's gaze and calmness, the cat symbolises quiet resilience, adapting to the ever-evolving urban landscape. Through this artwork, the artist invites viewers to pause, reflect, and discover beauty in the unnoticed areas of the urban landscape.
