Art in Transit: “The Waters Are Blue, Yet I Pine For You” by Sim Chi Yin
The mural combines memories and complex histories of Singapore’s reclaimed eastern coast, where this station sits. Using archival images, family photos (including Sim’s own), and pictures she’s made, the collage contains vignettes of the area’s past. From the iconic Big Splash, local swimming clubs with pagars (enclosures) that were once in the sea, Kampong Amber – home to Malay fishermen and Peranakan communities, and the now-endangered Katong (Javanese for leatherback sea turtle) that once came ashore at the tanjong (cape).
With a whimsical, hand-cut aesthetic, the mural makes speculation about whose narratives are hidden in history.
This artwork’s title is taken from the first stanza of the popular folk song ‘Di Tanjung Katong’.
