Items that are normally overlooked or discarded by people on the mainland have found new purposes in the hands of Ubin residents. Almost anything big or small, broken or old can serve a purpose.
This project is the result of a 3-month mentorship with Invisible Photographer Asia, for which Clarice was awarded a grant by Invisible Photographer Asia and the Singapore Heritage Society.
Specially for Pesta Ubin 2016, join The Island of Everlasting Utility project team to learn handicrafts which an Ubin resident in her 70s enjoys making from discarded objects.
