While trees may seem like ordinary subjects, this project reveals the hidden myths, personal anecdotes, and historical accounts that surround these living landmarks—offering a deeper look into Singapore’s arboreal heritage.
The box set includes a catalog book documenting these stories, a set of postcards featuring the trees, and a map marking their locations. Together, the components invite readers to discover and connect with these natural monuments through both visual and narrative exploration.
