About the artwork

Ref Jazz/Aud Using a one-point perspective, Ong Kim Seng evokes nostalgia with a portrayal of Singapore’s yesteryears. Daily activities of mooring boats by the river, ferrying goods to and fro and unloading supplies from bumboats for transport to warehouses or godowns were common sights given that the Singapore River and trade formed the economic lifeline of Singapore in the early days.
