A piece of my work which was featured in the publication "Eye e City 2008".
Aging population is a phenomenon experienced by most major city, including Singapore. I believe that everyone needs some form of goal to work towards in life. Hence, a sense of uncertainty and emptiness inevitably sets in after retirement. Our parents, after working tirelessly for most of their life, deserve a more comfortable place to spend their old age. Care from both their childern and the community plays a major role in filling up this "empty hole". In this way, the scenario of elderly heading aimlessly out to the street might be seen less frequently.
