“You can’t get whiter than the paper itself!” Ong likes to joke. This rings true as Ong is fond of reserving areas of white on the paper as part of the composition, establishing the contrast between light and shade. In Rochor Road, we see the practice put to good use, lending a focal point to the viewer to draw them in to a busy market setting. The contrast between light and shadow is sublimely displayed to portray a sense of time and movement.
