Beyond

In collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board, this project celebrates the world's 50 best restaurant which aim to promote awareness of Michelin Star restaurants who has achieved this title in Singapore.

Beyond  carries a narrative of representing my viewpoint of what a Michelin-Star restaurant should be. It is an attempt to re-evaluate and challenge our thoughts on how we define Michelin standards and qualities. At first glance, the stunning visual of the series aim to capture the same feelings of the restaurant's ambience. A sense of marveling; of wonderment when one walks in to a Michelin-Star restaurant. However, a closer examination suggest that the round shape of the canvases acts as a metaphor of a microscopic lens, where it zooms in on the details of the work. This act of zooming in conveys the idea of discovering , revealing that there is more than meets the eye. It is beyond these intrinsic qualities that one can observe in a fine dining restaurant. Thus, this project also deals with an introspective inquiry of understanding the essence of Michelin Star quality, pushing the boundaries of our own perception.
