Black and White


Black and White references Singapore’s colonial era “black and white” houses as symbols of heritage and hierarchy.

Though admired for their charm, they reflect colonial power structures, where larger, elevated homes were often reserved for elites.

Willy Tay uses this imagery to question how these values persist, urging viewers to look beyond aesthetics and consider the deeper social and political histories embedded in architecture.
