As Intended is a solo exhibition exploring Singapore’s urban landscape and the ways nature is incorporated, represented, managed, and experienced within the built environment. Drawing from Lim Jia Qi’s ongoing interest in Singapore’s everyday spaces, the exhibition brings together paintings on carved woodblocks and drypoint prints centred on familiar sites such as HDB void decks, sheltered walkways, building facades, and urban infrastructure. The works consider a city that is constantly being constructed, maintained, replaced, and renewed. Within this changing landscape, nature appears in many forms, from living trees and fleeting shadows to decorative motifs and designed representations. These different forms raise questions about what is natural, what is constructed, and how the two have become increasingly intertwined in Singapore’s urban environment.
