I see Singapore starting to shed a bit of its “squareness” as a society while retaining some of its quirkiness. Distortion and deconstruction have been used to paint the ubiquitous HDBs and block numbers. Against these, the lines of clothes hung out to dry seem to tell something equally poignant and defiant – they might as well be flags proudly asserting their unique identity.
