Obi Good
2016
Obi Good in colloquial Singaporean English, or Singlish, means 'serves you right'. The phrase is most often used to poke fun at another's mistake.
In the work, the artist pays tribute to the brave souls who have mastered certain skills not everyone can perform. Serves them right for being the best, despite escalating expectations and the pressure of responsibility that create more hurdles along the way.
Failure might knock, and one might fail, but it is ok to get up, smile and try again. Obi Good is a life lesson in happiness during a time when everything is fast paced and everyone aims for perfection.
