Moving Out - Tan Family
I documented the Tan family while they were in the middle of moving out of their home of 20+ years. I didn’t expect a HDB flat to hold so much soul within its four walls. By the time I arrived, most of their things had already been moved to the new place, and what was left behind felt heavy, more emotionally than physically. Having moved twice in the past three years, I could relate. Leaving a space that once held you is a lot to process. I’m thankful they gave me a few quiet hours to slow down, reflect, and sit with everything that was. I would hold space for these sweet folks any time, any day. Being able to document the home and their stories before the flat goes to its new owners felt important. Listening to them talk about what they’ve built, while sitting in the space knowing it would soon be part of the past. If these four walls could talk, they would say it was a privilege to shelter this family for the last two decades.
