Hi, I’m Quince.
I am gripped by big questions about how people live and make sense of themselves, others and the world amidst the restless currents of modern life.
My academic background is in philosophy: specialising in moral, social and political philosophy, as well as logic and formal methods. I received my BA (Hons) in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from King’s College London, where I was elected to the Associateship of King’s College and was the King’s Undergraduate Research Fellow in Bioethics 2024. Later, I received my MA in the Humanities (Philosophy) from the University of Chicago. My bachelor’s and master’s theses were on the basis of obligations surrounding heritage objects and human relationships respectively.
I am also passionate about documentary photography, cultural heritage, urbanism and the greater creative ecosystem (branding, arts, design, media, hospitality, tourism). I was a finalist in the 9th Singapore Young Photographer Award 2024 and was selected for the National Arts Council’s Noise Art Mentorship 2016. I believe in the power of community arts and youth mentorship, and I have led several such initiatives over the years, the latest being Photovoice 10.
