Landlord Grandma was one of the people who made me feel like I had a second "home" in Singapore. Through this lens, I captured the life of an ordinary person, evoking genuine emotions. A simple life doesn't require pretence; it is our everyday reality. We don't need masks to find joy and live fulfilling lives. Have you ever wondered what your family does throughout the day? From morning to night, a day foreshadows an entire lifetime, from infancy to old age.

I hope we spend quality time with the elderly for the well-being of future generations. Just like an individual's life, it begins with energetic mornings and ends with carefree evenings. A new day starts with household chores, living life fully, dressing up for shopping and gathering with sisters, embracing a love for food, exploring and sharing, organizing activities with relatives, and playing mahjong. These seemingly ordinary moments embody the essence of life.
