Echoes of Katong’s Early Coastal Living
ERICA WEE

Acrylic on Canvas

Today, they sit inland, but these historic Katong homes were originally built to greet the sea. Through expressive, textured brushwork, this piece highlights their unique architectural legacy - anchored by the seafront, with raised foundations and ornate steps designed to weather early 20th-century high tides. It is a vivid window into Singapore's changing coastline and an enduring cultural identity, standing proud against the shifting tides of time.
