concrete jungle (open collection - white border print) · Singapore · 2016

Once, there was jungle that gave life. Then the humonkey poured concrete all over it, so that it could dispense convenience instead. Now, slowly, we realize that it was a big whoopsie. The more we urbanize, the more we paint grey over green, the more we need to foster a healthy relationship between towers and trees, before the slabs suffocate us. When we’re allowing vegetation to move back into our selfmade sprawl, we’re not doing nature a favor. Our green friends don’t need us – never have, never will, always better off without us. We are the ones who cannot live without them. Greenery is nature’s most generous one-way street and Singaporeans are avant-gardists, going down that road with big steps and breaths. They must.
