Simon Lim puts the spotlight on Visual Artist, Faris Nakamura. Faris has exhibited in shows both locally and internationally, including the Kobe Biennale in Japan, as well as at venues in Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. 

On this podcast, Faris Nakamura shares about his fourth solo exhibition with Richard Koh Fine Art at Block 47 Malan Road, Gillman Barracks. Faris' new works at this exhibition titled "XOXO SKELETON" explore the overlaps between insect and human skeletal frames. How similar is an insect's exoskeleton to ours? How do we evaluate ourselves as part of nature? As an avid carer of insects over the years, Faris pays tribute to insect forms using sculptures as a pseudo love-letter and scientific study.
