Inspired by early explorers, Willy Tay’s Arriving in Toa Payoh shifts the focus from conquest and wealth to human emotions like curiosity, ambition, and uncertainty.
A self-portrait-like figure of the artist rendered in Mongolian attire conveys displacement and a search for identity.
Referencing Toa Payoh’s transformation from swamp to urban estate, the work parallels physical and inner journeys, inviting viewers to reflect on what drives exploration and how identity is shaped through it.
