Corners of Connection

By Grace Ong Min Hui, Artzillions

At the corner of Keong Saik and Teck Lim Roads stands an old shophouse, carrying the charm of Singapore’s past. Once lively with merchants, conversations, and passing rickshaws, the building now rests between past and present — a silent witness to the changing city around it. The painting captures this balance of nostalgia and modern life, where heritage architecture endures amid the rhythm of urban renewal.
