The large billboard painting covers the history of Little India in Singapore through archival and recent pictures of the community. The compiled images of people and places integrate texts and titles like a movie poster, providing an introductory note to the visualised narrative of the artist's journey through Little India, past and present, which is further fleshed out through the two accompanying pieces of "Passage to Little India".
