National Pastime: Meet the Candi-Dates

  • Photographer
    Zinkie Aw, Singapore

What's striking in colour, ubiquitously adored, viscerally sweet,
and does not promote tooth decay?

Candy Crush Saga, the game, feels like a big National Pastime to
me.

Everywhere I go, I see people with those candy screens, or hear
the game tunes.

I wanted to capture these snippets, talk to these people from all
ages, understand their craze with the crushing, and also show
bits and pieces of my country, Singapore.
