Artist Statement

“Silent Trophy” is a powerful sculpture mourning the extinction of the Sumatran rhino in Malaysia. Made from scrap metal and featuring a gun aimed at the rhino’s head, it symbolizes human greed and disregard for life. The rhino’s ceramic head, glazed in crimson, evokes the bloodshed of its demise, while its rigid face stands as a haunting trophy of destruction. This artwork reflects on the loss of a species and calls for a reckoning, urging us to confront our role in the extinction and act to prevent further harm.

Dual Serenity: Peacocks at Dawn illustrates the peaceful connection between a male and female peacock, symbolizing the harmonious balance found in a couple. The backdrop of layered colors, reminiscent of a dawn sky, provides a serene and abstracted landscape that enhances the sense of unity and calm.

Boundless Flow captures life's constant transformation, inspired by Bruce Lee’s quote: 'Be formless, shapeless, like water.' Just as water adapts to any shape, life is a series of ever-changing moments. This work reflects the grace of impermanence, where every twist symbolizes the unfolding journey. Embracing this flow, we find peace in uncertainty and beauty in the ephemeral. The soft, interconnected lines remind us that life, like water, is always moving and adapting, yet remains harmonious.

Artist Statement

The phenomenon of people wanting to appear ‘extremely Malay’ refers to efforts to emphasize Malay identity through clothing, language, or religious practices. This is often seen as a way to preserve cultural and religious heritage, as well as Malay rights in a sociopolitical context. However, it can sometimes take on a satirical tone, highlighting the tendency to hold onto a narrow definition of Malay identity, which is actually more dynamic and diverse. The exaggerated size of the songkok can also be seen as a satirical commentary on those who promote ‘Malayness’ excessively for political gain.

Artist Statement

The artwork captures the endless cycle of digital scrolling, where users become lost in a never-ending flow of content. Mickey Mouse, depicted with a lively, determined posture, running atop a smartphone, symbolizes our constant search for more—more posts, more updates, more distractions. His iconic and playful nature contrasts with the overwhelming digital space, emphasizing how even nostalgic figures can be trapped in this loop. This artwork critiques the design of digital platforms that keep us engaged, often pulling us further away from the present. By portraying this infinite loop, the piece invites viewers to reflect on their online habits and consider the impact of constantly chasing the next piece of content in an endless digital stream.

The artwork captures the fleeting nature of internet fame through the metaphor of stars contained within a glass battery. The artwork is filled with blue stars, symbolizing individuals whose initial brilliance fades as they become forgotten in the fast-paced, ever-changing digital landscape. A few white stars stand out, representing the rare instances where someone momentarily remains in the spotlight, only to be overshadowed by the inevitable loss of relevance. The glass battery, a vessel meant to contain energy, symbolizes the limits of attention and recognition, constantly draining as one’s spark diminishes. This piece reflects on the transient nature of digital fame and the emotional toll it takes as one strives to stay visible in an oversaturated world.

The artwork explores the paradox of modern connectivity through a symbolic juxtaposition of pencils within a cigarette box. In a society saturated with digital platforms, the artwork challenges the notion of fulfilment derived from constant online engagement. The pencils, traditionally tools of creation and communication, are confined within the constraints of a familiar vice, highlighting the addictive nature of social networking platforms consumption. As individuals incessantly seek validation and connection through their devices, the piece prompts reflection on the insatiable desire for virtual validation and the potential loss of authentic human connection. Through this poignant visual metaphor, "Never Enough" invites viewers to contemplate the balance between digital connectivity and genuine human interaction in today's hyper-connected world.

The artwork “Beyond the Numbers” portrays Super Mario resting wearily against a sack of blue numbers, symbols of the endless digital data we often chase—likes, followers, and shares. This piece sheds light on the toll of constant pursuit for online validation, reminding viewers of the importance of balance and genuine self-worth. Mario’s fatigue encourages us to pause and reflect on our own digital habits, guiding us to seek meaning beyond superficial metrics.
