"The Imbalance" is a project I have created to portray the problems of poverty in the urban community, how people treat the ones in need and how poverty can affect someone's life. This project consists of a lot of parts that I have spent a lot of time and effort in order to convey what I want.

Year 2 Sem 1, 2023
We notice poverty going on in various countries, including Singapore, no matter how developed we become. Many overlook the roots of how people get poor, or how people cant escape poverty. There are many causes to poverty, each one that may have different background and different stories/journeys throughout their lives.
I want to make people empathise and remember how important people who suffer with poverty in our community, and how we should do what we can to help them.
