TAXI!

my close friend, Charlene Rajendran recently published her book called Taxi Tales on a Crooked Bridge (yes its a plug - its my blog and I can plug if I want to!) about taxi drivers, their quirks, the relationship between passenger and driver - it also inevitably touches on identity, belonging, perception and life as a malaysian here in singapore.
the book was launched in KL, and recently in
singapore - to brighten up the space she asked me to bring a little flowerpower action along!

this one was fun, cos I had the perfect vessel for the flowers - as the book and author are rather quirky, I used an old biscuit tin, and included flowers which were a fun take on old favourites -like ping pong chrysanthemums, local asters, and even found the gloriosa lily - especially cool since her mum (who is named after this particular bloom)
attended the day!
