ANDREW TAN, Kinetic Solitude (ART 2026)

Some nights the city feels less like a place and more like a painting you're walking through. Light spills off every surface, colour bleeds into the wet street, and the people moving through it all seem to exist somewhere between the real and the imagined. These three photographs live in that space. Each one a different night, a different corner of the city, but the same feeling: that you are both part of the crowd and somehow separate from it. Present, but passing through. The square frame was a deliberate choice. It pulls you in close, holds the moment tight, and lets the chaos do what it wants around the edges.
