Showcasing sympathy blankets - offered to the family of the deceased and hung at funerals - created by Chong Pang residents after they spent time at a workshop contemplating the end-of- life and how to come to terms with death.
The Gift is an invitation to contemplate a last gift for someone in each participant’s life. Each gift that was made in this artist-led project, signified a person’s reflection of what is significant to them, what they wish to leave behind, and a unique relationship between two people, in life and death.
Using documentary footage of senior participants as a starting point and weaving in the images of a lifetime that were excavated from old photo albums, the three short films tell us how each senior has been differently dealing with delicate issues of death and dying that are present in their daily lives.
