Sayang’s
is a column of essays about my own design and art works and also, about those I consume.
Views and words expressed are my own.

Under A Coconut Tree
Before coconut trees came into the world's consciousness through the viral lighthearted meme of Kamala Harris, they represented something vastly different from equity in education policies.

Growing up in the Lion City, I understand. She offers far from the pastoral idyll. I dream of being under a coconut tree, regardless. I'd imagine that at some point in time, I'd turn to you, with your book against your face and ask if you'd imagined your life any differently; I think of this as my heart—under the protective influence of fear—tappers it down as if to soften the blow if things turn out horribly wrong.

Rohit Vedant’s Microscopic Strokes: A Meditative Approach To Art
Rohit marries his patience in letting the work find itself with his acceptance of its unpredictability across all five of his works: ‘Brightside,’ ‘Provenance,’ ‘Getaway,’ ‘Mahogany’ and, ‘Blackoak.’ No two works are the same; some have since been sold to an audience in an exhibition last April.
