“Balancing moments both familiar and unnoticed, Last Order is a celebration of hawker culture and its impact on Singaporean communities locally and beyond. It focuses our gaze on a seemingly ever-present part of daily Singapore - reminding us of what we stand to lose.”
In 2019, as part of a personal project, Luke began documenting Singapore’s hawker culture. Across many years, he tried to understand what makes hawker culture such a vital part of Singaporean society, and what exactly it stands to lose over time. Eventually, his work culminated in the release of his first photobook entitled Last Order. Shooting Last Order enabled him to engage with communities he would otherwise not have had the chance to, and to celebrate a part of Singapore so dear and personal to him.
