This review examines Lucy Davis's Migrant Ecologies Project through the framework of ecological grief, asking how grief work can deepen interspecies relationships and contribute to conservation.

Focused on Tanglin Halt, one of Singapore's oldest social housing estates facing demolition, the project uses sound, film, installation, and community storytelling to make visible the marginalised human and more-than-human lives displaced by urbanisation and capitalist expansion. Drawing on Svetlana Boym's concept of reflective nostalgia, the review argues that Davis resists both closure and funerary finality, instead conjuring spectral presences that reframe disappearing lives as grievable and politically worthy.

Rather than embalming loss, the Migrant Ecologies Project offers a way through grief—one rooted in playful, present-tense encounters with ecological others, sustained by the conviction that mourning, as Thom van Dooren suggests, is a deliberate act of remembrance that motivates resistance to the conditions that caused the catastrophe.
