Photo manipulation
Roopini D/o Jaya Balan
Yishun Primary School
In Who Am I?, the photographs go beyond the traditional mirrors. The mirrors are digitally manipulated to alter reality and question the individual’s identity. Amidst these photographic series, a real mirror is placed urging viewers to engage in self-reflection and question their own perception of self.

About Me
Ever since I was in Primary School, my ambition had always been to be a full-time teacher and a part-time artist. Right now, I am an Art teacher. It brings me joy that the path that I have travelled has led me to be both at the same time. It brings me even more joy to see works created by the students that I get to meet. From being comfortable with just using colour pencils and oil pastels, my career as a teacher has motivated me to venture out and move out of my comfort zone to try out various mediums so that I can share the knowledge and skills with my students.About my Artwork
Recently, I have been venturing to digital art and I have applied my newly learned skills in my
artwork. Photo manipulation was used for my work as I wanted to alter reality. Through my
artwork, I wanted to urge viewers to engage in self-reflection and question their own perception of self.About my views
Art is everywhere. It’s a language that can be used to bring awareness or communicate with
people the thoughts and emotions that cannot be simply put by words.
