SINGAPORE — Until nine months ago, 70-year-old Devi Maniam could hardly have imagined that pictures of her home-cooked chicken rendang and roti jala would become part of an art exhibition focused on end-of-life conversations.
However, that was before she became a senior collaborator on Tides, an exhibition bringing together the artistic creations and experiences of eight senior women who regularly attend the Wellness Kampung @ 765 Nee Soon Central.
Her family’s favourite dishes of hers — ghee rice, fried chicken and chicken curry — have been documented in a series of photos titled From Atha to You, taken by her daughter.
The pictures are overlaid with handwritten messages exchanged between Madam Devi and her grandchildren.
“Without this project, I wouldn’t have done so much... the posters, I get to see my grandchildren’s messages," Madam Devi said.

Her grandchildren calls her "atha", or grandmother, and have written, "I love you so much", "from young I’m eating your food", "I’m so grateful to you".
