Tagistan is my latest body of work, inspired by the transformation of Jalan Chan Sow Lin—my childhood neighborhood. Once a thriving industrial hub known for its factories and workshops, the area is now in the midst of heavy redevelopment, erasing much of its historical identity. This exhibition builds on themes from my earlier works, Recollectus and Test Tanah, delving into the loss of local history and culture. Jalan Chan Sow Lin, named after a Chinese tin tycoon who pioneered the iron industry in the early 20th century, has become a landscape of abandoned warehouses and empty homes. To preserve its story, I’ve collected discarded objects from these spaces, repurposing them into artworks that honor their history. The title Tagistan merges “tagi” (storage) and “-stan” (place), reflecting both a sense of belonging and a longing for what is lost. Drawing from Arte Povera, I transform found materials into minimalist installations, videos, and drawings that examine memory, environmental change, and impermanence. With Tagistan, I aim to create a “capsule” of this disappearing world—where personal memories intertwine with the history of a place I once called home.
