Aachi's House

‘Aachi’s House’ (2019) is a series inspired by surreal little snippets of childhood memories that exist as a mental archive in my mind. The work exists as a series of digitally manipulated, animated videos that attempts to digitally reconstruct and stage absurd fragments of early adolescent memories. 

  Primarily growing up in my Grandmothers traditional Singaporean home in the early 2000’s is the duality that inspires my overactive imagination. Hindu God’s were seen as cartoon characters, traditional ornaments were used as toys and the entire house was essentially a fantasy-land that coincided seamlessly with the emerging digital prominence of the early 2000’s. 

  Ultimately, ‘Aachi’s House’ questions whether playful animations have the capacity to act as a theatre for accurately representing childhood memories - at the subconscious intersection between dreams and reality.
