answer to Tay's personal question of what it means to be a Singaporean. The 40 photographs were of Singaporeans born on National Day, and Tay wondered if people born on that day have a stronger sense of patriotism. With this background, the LTA approached him to update the collection of photographs for the country's 50th National Day. Tay revisited some of the people he had photographed; he said the most rewarding part was how much they had changed since, especially regarding their aspirations and challenges in living in Singapore.

Intended to bring "a refreshing element of nature" into the underground station, the work represents scenes seen by commuters as they gaze out of the window from a train whenever it rains. Nah had originally used the photographs as guides for his own paintings displayed at his graduation ceremony. The LTA architect Andrew Mead then recommended to the Art Review Panel that the station use Nah's set of photos. According to Nah, the work came from his fascination with looking out of the trains' windows, which he said not many commuters do. The photographs for this project were reshot in higher quality using a new camera that could capture the raindrop up close, allowing it to look sharp against the blurred background. Nah's main issue was taking the pictures under the right
