Sheltered Dreams is a new series by Singaporean artist Lavender Chang, commissioned by the Peranakan Museum in collaboration with the Arab Network@Singapore, Peranakan Indian (Chitty Melaka) Association Singapore, Eurasian Association Singapore, and the Peranakan Association Singapore. They are portraits of living rooms in HDB homes, created using the artist’s signature long-exposure photographic technique. Taken in darkness while the residents slept, each captures the passage of time in a single image and immortalises the traces of everyday life at the heart of the home.
