Trilogy is a collection of three plays by Haresh Sharma that explore the fundamentals of text and realism by scrutinising pressing issues that affect contemporary society. Written between 2006 and 2008, the plays - Fundamentally Happy, Good People and Gemuk Girls - feature simple but powerful narratives that question personal, social, cultural and political convictions. These award-winning plays represent some of The Necessary Stage's most critically-acclaimed works in recent years and are set to be contemporary classics of Singapore theatre.

So what happens when the dance making process is further confounded by needs, wants, desires - whims and fancies - of the audience? From audience expectation to the artist communicating his message to the audience, daniel k is most concerned about his relationship that is bound by the "product", the dance in his case. The dance becomes daniel k's communication to the audience and also the audience's way of accessing what and how daniel k is expressing.
The Q&A book is featured along with the Singapore Arts Festival 2009.

A whimsical approach to say art is abstract. Saying it bluntly is literally making an understatement. This print proves otherwise. The only way we can appreciate it is to see it with a different perspective. For the uninitiated, using a mirror to view this print helps too.

This display font typeface is constructed using different parts from a traditional wooden pencil. Each pencil is broken into smaller pieces, scanned and converted digitally. It would be interesting to see the tool in our daily life becoming a typeface which everyone can relate to. It gives the impression of a sketchy yet clean feel to this font. Sleek like a stick, thus the given typeface name.

Optical illusion is implemented in the type specimen book jacket to create a visually interesting appeal. The book is colour-coded to differentiate the chapters and also to break away from traditional type specimen books.

Using coins as the form for type setting, a proposed advertising campaign for POSB using experimental typography is created by the use of a
non-manipulated photograph.

We live in a climate of change. The planet is as microscopic as we see it and yet in this world, we are constantly challenging the material cycles by introducing variants that will harm our ecosystem. Climate change, pollution, toxic waste and deforestation etc are just some of the catalysts that trigger a change.
The animals are crying and the plants are dying. We must stop what we are doing now for a better life on mother Earth.

Save our ecosystem. Save our planet. Save ourselves.

A growing tree symbolizes life, reaching down to the ground to touch the hearts of many and up to the sky into our bright future at the same time.
May we grow in this wonderful and beautiful upcoming year.

This visionary world is wonderfully to be delighted in, and highly to be esteemed, because this moment exhibits infinite space, but there is a space also wherein all moments are infinitely exhibited, and the everlasting duration of infinite space is another region and room of joy and laughter. There's a communal knowing that a dimension of reality exists beyond the material plane, and that sense of knowing is causing a mystical resurgence on the universe. It's not just children who are looking for a missing piece. It is also a question to the nature of our reality.

A series of himself as a metamorphic creature in a visionary universe that is in search of discovering and creating dialogues with the audience.

This is a project about the explorations and experimentation with the circle’s core symbolism and their meanings. The study into the world of circles will experiment with the universal symbol’s geometric and symmetric forms, engaging the readers to re-interpret the circle in a contemporary approach. Often then not, the circle is depicted using long wordy descriptions. Ancient visuals sometimes accompany them but not always. Throughout the first book, the vector forms are rendered and executed according to the author’s interpretation of what the meanings visually translates to. In the second book, the process on a series of rendered experimentation generated during the study is showcased. Each symbol can be broken down into smaller elements, thus resulting in other forms of patterns.

88 and 116 pages respectively. Poster and selected pages shown from the books.

What would it feels like if there are no toilets anywhere in the world for us to use one day?
Think about it. We use the toilet everyday that subconsciously we have taken them for granted.

Out of the so many historical facts about the toilet, one would be astounded to read about interesting and humorous aspects of it. How would an audience 1000 years from now interpret these? Will they still be using toilets by then and if so, how would they look like? The subject here has a very colorful story behind its history. By using black and white, these 2 archaic colors can be easily interpreted by the audience to relate to its past and future, at the same time invoke thinking and emotions in them.

A self-initiated project, be intrigued by the little gritty facts and stories about the place you can’t do without.

Kult is a Singapore based, free independent magazine with a print run of 10,000 and supported by a roaming arcade game which houses an electronic version of the magazine. It is designed to give artists a platform for expression. By choosing a global theme each issue, we analyse a topic from several perspectives.

This theme for this issue is "AIDS". The HIV virus has proven to be a far more formidable opponent than anybody initially anticipated: 20 years of intensive research by some of the sharpest minds in the world, has failed to produce either a cure or a vaccine. The main reasons for this is because it mutates frequently in order to outsmart the body's immune system. The epidemic is still on the rise and the South and South-East of Asia are the regions where HIV is spreading the fastest. We want to help educate and raise awareness of this deadly Super Virus.

Achtung! "A Nice Set" is the name of the exhibition where by an appropriately portioned 33 and 1/3 artists to customize a pair of blank DJ slipmats; the dimensions of the canvas are their only constraints. Exhibited at Hacienda.

A slipmat is a circular piece of slippery cloth or synthetic materials disc jockeys place on the turntable platter instead of the traditional rubber mat. Unlike the rubber mat which is made to keep hold the record firmly in sync with the rotating platter, slipmats are designed to slip on the platter, allowing the DJ to manipulate a record on a turntable while the platter continues to rotate underneath. This is useful for holding a record still for slip-cueing, making minute adjustments during beatmatching and mixing and pulling the record back and forth for scratching.

Like Asia, Tiger is forward-looking and always progressing, while remaining true to its heritage. Through the interpretation of FUTURE, Tiger AKAs confront the preservation or decline of tradition, globalisation, modernisation and relationships with the West in a highly personal and compelling manner.

Technology is constantly changing in today's world and Asia's rising science and technology strengths mean that in the near future, Asians will see the rise of machines and possibly an industrial revolution. we may accidentally sweep away our uniqueness and identity as Asian people therefore the past should be taken into account if we want to build a better future together. Together with Tiger, we can build a better future.
