Holding Space<\/em>\u00a0is a photographic project which seeks to hold space for families dealing with mortality, chronic illness and the fragility of life. The project does not attempt to look for answers as there is no prescriptive answer for what individuals and families in this position face. And yet, how families navigate such a personal, challenging time can be informative for the greater community. Using photography, found materials and interviews to consciously bear witness, Tan Ngiap Heng hopes to spark conversation. The contemplation of death and how we support those approaching death can teach us a lot about what is important in life, and can teach us to live life in a more meaningful way.<\/p>\n

Holding Space<\/em>\u00a0is dedicated to the memory of Dr Tan Kheng Khoo (1931-2019) and Mrs Chung Hwang Siok-Eng (1919-2019).<\/p>\n

The keynote essay,\u00a0Caregivers and Holding Space,\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0by\u00a0Dr Teoh Ren Shang<\/strong>. Dr Teoh graduated as a medical doctor from the National University of Singapore in 2003, and is currently working as a Resident Physician in the Singapore Cancer Society, where he cares for terminally ill cancer patients in their homes.<\/p>\n
