I Belong Here Too (2014) reconfigures the house that I grew up in into a housing development board (HDB) block, an icon of the Singapore landscape. I have had conversations with a number of Singaporeans who feel strongly that living in a HDB classifies one as being a truer Singaporean than others. During the process of working with linoleum and mixing the inks for the national colours of Singapore, I was also contemplating on the growing tension back home due to income inequality and the scramble for Singaporeans to find an authentic national identity.
