Whitestone Gallery Singapore is pleased to present a duo-solo exhibition, Through Reverie: Love and Memory, opening on 9 May 2026. Featuring two artists, Clasutta from Indonesia and C.K. Koh from Malaysia, the exhibition gathers works that move through quiet, intimate states, where memory does not return as a complete story but in fragments that linger.

These works do not try to reconstruct the past. Instead, they offer traces. A colour that feels familiar, a gesture that repeats, and a form that feels like it has been seen before. They surface like half remembered moments, felt deeply yet just out of reach.

Clasutta’s solo exhibition, Roommates?, moves through the emotional stages of a relationship. What begins as something light and playful slowly shifts into something more complex.

Her works reflect the quiet patterns of connection, where attraction, effort and expectation begin to take shape over time. Moving between instinct and adjustment, her works consider the gap between how people are expected to function and how they actually get by. There is a sense that what we feel is not always as simple as it first appears, and that sometimes, we stay even when something has already changed.

The exhibition Roommates? unfolds the idea of love without clear structure. Small gestures, misunderstandings and the desire to be chosen gradually shape what feels natural, though it is often carefully negotiated. What begins as something effortless becomes something maintained. Repetition settles in, passing as stability, convincing enough to keep things in place. Love is not fixed or defined. It drifts, returns and dissolves. Sometimes it feels close, sometimes distant. It exists less as an event and more as a feeling that stays, even in absence.

C.K. Koh’s solo exhibition, Folded Glimpses, brings together moments drawn from his personal photographic archive. These are not direct records of place, but impressions shaped by memory. Moving away from documentary realism, his works capture passing scenes, quiet encounters and fragments of time that might otherwise go unnoticed.

"Like a letter slipping effortlessly into a slot, these scenes found their way into the corner of my heart. Not because they were loud, but because they were true”. Koh expresses this glimpse as a fleeting gift — a moment of beauty seen for a second but remembered for a lifetime.

Through the recurring presence of Box Boy, his works trace a quiet continuity across time, between who we were, what we remember, and what we carry forward. These moments are not fixed. They shift as they are recalled, shaped by distance, emotion, and time. Memory here is something held and folded, a way of keeping what matters while allowing it to change.

In this body of work, place becomes something fluid. It is no longer tied to a specific location, but shaped by atmosphere, movement, and association. A landscape, a street, or a passing view becomes less about where it is, and more about how it is remembered. What remains is not a complete image, but a feeling that lingers quietly.

Together, the works sit in a state of reverie, a quiet in between where longing, memory and feeling overlap. Meaning does not arrive all at once but unfolds slowly, like something remembered with tenderness rather than certainty.

Through Reverie: Love and Memory invites viewers to spend time with these moments, to sit with what feels familiar and what feels distant, and to recognise how memory and emotion continue to stay with us in ways we do not always realise.
