Secret windows
The Substation Gallery, Singapore
A painting installation by Hazel Lim. Hazel celebrates not only the work of her first solo show, but a question she has asked for years: What happens to memory when it is no longer attached to a space, simply because the space has become obsolete or removed? The landscapes Hazel depict are seen through gaps framed by urban objects and abandoned houses. She translates private moments captured in photographs into paintings, reversing private views into mass-consumable images.

With SECRET WINDOWS, Hazel celebrates not only the work of her first solo show, but a question she has asked for years:
What happens to memory when it is no longer attached to a space, simply because the space has become obsolete or removed?
The landscapes Hazel depict are seen through gaps framed by urban objects and abandoned houses. She translates private moments captured in photographs into paintings, reversing private views into mass-consumable images.
Depicting an unspoken intimacy with our landscape, Hazel Lim evokes a sense of loss and sentimentality.
