Should Traditional Coffee Shops Be Preserved In Singapore?

In Singapore, coffee drinking is entrenched in the local culture. The quaint old coffee shop where Singaporeans goes for their morning coffee and breakfast embodies that.

Traditional coffee shops tend to relive memories. The best coffee, some say, are the ones made by the older generation or when one is in a nostalgic circumstance.

However, due to modernization, old coffee shops have been replaced by chain stores in cities and towns across the country, and they are gradually forgotten.

Would convenience and varieties of coffees win the hearts of people and take over aged coffee shops?

MKX (Installation Art)

I like patterns. We make patterns. I like to pay attention to the intricate patterns of the existence that we take granted for. We see them in every event, every object or every behaviour that we do not usually take notice of. They speaks closely to our lives, circling and returning anew. It is an endless cycle.

White represents originality and purity - No imitation or influence by the other designers. Shadows casted from the patterns reflect what type of designer I am. “MKX”, the initials of my name have been structured within patterns as a reminder.

Treasure moments, repeat the Beautifuls.

SMP: Get Wet & Deep with Nikon Coolpix
Feature: Waterproof 

Portraying the modern Nikon Coolpix with an aged execution, a time clash between the new and the old is created. 

Nikon Coolpix is a great companion when it comes to wet activities. To emphasize its waterproof feature, Nikon Coolpix is placed in an environment where everyone is familiar and takes pleasure in. Paradise speaks a beach and heaven is an ocean. Bring Nikon Coolpix to surf or lay by the beach and feel its waves. There will be no more uncertainty to photograph in water. 

Capture those moments and they last forever.
