Transient Echoes involves experimenting with storytelling, seeking to explore the rich historical and cultural significance of forgotten artifacts, such as the Singapore Stone and the Singapore River. Using these artifacts as narrative tools in telling their stories, with the aim of discussing notions of progress, regress, and the complex trajectories of colonial narratives within local contexts. The work explores the role of a storyteller in reimagining these narratives granting them greater agency and respect, shedding light on the subjects the artist wishes to highlight. This process involves not only delving into the archive but also responding to them, as an act of speaking back to them.
