In a modest barbershop nestled in Geylang, a simple haircut turns into a quiet act of physical care, shared language, and quiet intimacy. Centered on Ah Mei, a hairstylist living in Singapore for twenty years, the series examines how time, labor, and routine reshape our connection to where we come from, and where we belong.
Lynn Wen Wen (b. 2002) is an multidisciplinary creative based in Singapore. Working primarily through lens-based mediums, she examines the inherent vulnerability woven into the collective rituals and habitual performances of modern society. Her practice is informed by an interest in the curious obsessions found within local landscapes, seeking out the emotional undercurrents that exist within the rhythms of daily life.
