Y.L. Stray inhabits the tropical island of Singapore, which is also a populous garden city.  Stray enjoys depicting the mysteries and fantasies hidden behind urban bricks, blending reality and dreams until the two are indistinguishable. Solitary jaunts around the Asia region fuel Stray's imagination, along with swimming laps and listening to music. Attempts to play the guitar have only resulted in learning a few songs. Stray hopes to one day see snow, build a snowman and have a snowball fight.
