It is the necessary, temporary structure for lasting development. This framework is the awkward, exposed stage of inner becoming—it provides the friction needed to build a stronger foundation. What temporary support does the self rely on for growth? And what truths are revealed when the final frame is pulled away?
100/100
Audrey Desmond (Social Media Manager)
What allows anything to truly last is the consistent effort of doing! It means showing up daily, even when I don’t feel like it, and working through the resistance despite numerous hardships and recovering from inconsistencies. These tiny, accumulated actions build a strong foundation, allowing me to expand, continue building, and be competent in the things I do—an essential process because the learning never truly ends.

to be, or not to be
Ricky Sim (Artistic Director)
It’s natural that people will have different interpretations of our actions, and that’s okay. Like scaffolding around a building, the supports we build for ourselves aren’t always meant to be seen or understood by others. They’re there to help us grow, to hold us steady while we figure things out. Sometimes people only notice the mess or the noise, not the quiet work happening inside. Maybe that’s what living truly means: to keep showing up for ourselves, piece by piece, even when no one gets it. Because in the end, the most honest kind of building happens when we’re brave enough to keep constructing who we are.
The Space Between
Rozalita Sahetapy (Admin Intern)
Since receiving my O-level results, it felt like everything I’d built had come undone. Art became the temporary structure that held me up while I tried to make sense of things. I still hold on to that quiet dream of pursuing a career in science, even if it means beginning again from nothing. Maybe growth is meant to feel uncertain – like standing within the scaffolding, still learning how to hold my own weight; and perhaps, as I keep rebuilding, I’ll find that the worlds of arts and science aren’t so separate after all.

Sufficient, not perfect
Theres (Marketing Intern)
To me, illusion is often the picture we hold of how life should be or the perfect outcome we hope for.
Over time, I have realised that life does not need to be perfect to matter. What matters is that things are sufficient, that they give us enough meaning and stability to keep moving forward.
