Drawing of faces representing residents of Block 79 Marine Drive during circuit breaker period

Information About

"Drawing of the many faces of Singaporeans in HDB in Circuit Breaker. The circuit breaker inspired many to ponder on the fragility of life in the chaos of the pandemic while pursuing newfound or erstwhile passion in the peace of solitude. In a block of everyday Singaporeans confined in 96 units, how is everyone feeling, I wonder? And this was a moment of my reflection on 16 April 2020: the many stay-home faces of Singaporeans. Having not drawn nor doodled in a long time since school days, this was an unexpected moment of joy."--Contributed by Donna Liew, as part of the "Documenting COVID-19 in Singapore" collection community call. This photograph shows a drawing of faces in squares representing residents of HDB block 79 at Marine Drive during the circuit breaker period. At the centre of the page is the hashtag #STAYHOMEFORSG.
