Editor’s note:

This photo essay by Christine Chua encapsulates a kindness and enthusiasm for sharing and caring for one another. From the content of the photo essay to the design, a sense of joy and playfulness fills one up. To use “a state-owned land for his own recreation”: Have we considered why land is automatically considered state-owned? Why is farming-gardening considered a recreation and not an essential part of lifestyle? Have we been desensitised to approach farming-gardening with an attitude of “for play”, “for fun”? If so, how do we unpack reasons to these and acknowledge farming-gardening spaces with appreciation that they are actually doing essential work (the work that sustains the human body)?
