                  Basking in the moment : a zine on display in the 25x25 exhibition at SMU de Suantio Gallery during the 2025 Arts Fest
                  This is a pdf capture of the zine created by Asha Balamurali for the 2025 Arts Fest 25x25 exhibition which contains a collection of photos inspired by Chua Ek Kay’s artwork "A Junction on Rochor Road" (1999). "A Junction on Rochor Road (1999) by Chua Ek Kay was created a decade after A Busy Corner on Middle Road (1989). What drew me in was the intense melancholy that can be felt in a single glance—a feeling so palpable it almost pauses time. Inspired by this, I wanted to explore the idea of stillness: the act of pausing to fully take in a moment (a feeling we often overlook and undervalue). I explored how light could be played with to convey this feeling and it has influenced most of the photographs in this collection. By slowing down, we open ourselves to the awe and richness of life—moments we might otherwise miss! This zine is a collection of such moments that made me stop and take a second look." - Asha Balamurali, Year 5, School of Social Sciences
