'Living well, leaving well': Yishun end-of-life art exhibition allows seniors to demystify death, document life
But that was before she became a senior collaborator on Tides, an exhibition bringing together the artistic creations and experiences of eight senior women who regularly attend the Wellness Kampung @ 765 Nee Soon Central. Madam Devi’s cooking related photo series, for example, is located in the kitchen of the Wellness Kampung, where seniors come together to cook and “share-a-pot” on Wednesdays.
The artist regularly spoke with the seniors in one-on-one conversations to get a better sense of their life stories and what creative approach they could take to share their ideas. “It’s not always so direct and overt like, ‘Can we talk about death or dying?' It really is through stories, memories, our wishes, our legacy, what difference do we want to make with our time here.”In addition to raising awareness on end-of-life matters, senior collaborators said that this experience has helped them gain confidence in art-making and articulating their thoughts.
Addressing the crowded Wellness Kampung, she read her letter to caregivers: “Caregiving requires a lot of patience and love.” “We didn’t realise we could do projects like this, especially to call it art work. I could never imagine that at this age, we could do something like that,” said Ms Yap.
