In this talk, Singaporean photographer Melisa Teo will take you on her artistic journey through a series of images, starting with her early works. She will share her very first photographic series and discuss her initial publications, Light From Within and The Light Beyond, which document her spiritual explorations of sacred realms.

​More recently, her focus shifted to nature, culminating in The Trees of Paris, a deeply personal tribute to the silent witnesses of urban life, and Two Rivers, her latest work dedicated to the Singapore River that flows through her birthplace, and the Seine River in Paris, her adoptive city.

​As she shares these projects, Melisa will discuss her growth as an artist and explain how her evolving understanding of photography offers new perspectives on the world around her—perspectives brought to life through her camera.

Whether you're an aspiring artist, photography enthusiast, or simply curious about the creative process, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from an artist whose work bridges cultures and continents.

From 4 June to 4 July, an Art X Stacks book display—jointly curated by Melisa Teo and the National Library—will be showcased at Level 8 of the National Library Building.
