'Untimely Meditations' is a body of work that suggests an alternative way to look at history and nature. The artist mine the archive for images that documents past exploitations in Singapore's landscape. Images of plantations, forests being destroyed, land surveying, trophy animals, gardens etc. If one looks carefully, most photographs of the past show some signs of environmental exploitation. Secondary forests are unique landscapes that have grown out of these histories. The secondary forest today is also home to unique non-human animals that have learned to thrive in these disturbed landscapes. The past and future can both be seen in these forests. Nature, like a wild boar that does not care of these human histories, finds a way to continue.
