Low does not just paint from personal memory, but also taps into the memories of residents from each district, painting people she befriends.
“When I was painting in Holland Village, I talked to many of the residents, mainly retirees,” she said.
“There was an old man who was single and lived in the blocks upstairs. He came down to watch me paint every day. The people who knew him said he kept to himself. One day, he started talking and joking with me, and even bought me teh C,” she recalled.
“He was practically there the whole time I was painting, so I asked him if I could paint him on the wall. He agreed and posed for me, but asked me not to paint his face so I painted his back.
“A few years later, I found out that he had passed on. I felt sad, but also glad that I painted him,” she said.
