ISSUES: Shark Finning 2
James Seet
51(H) x 30(W) x 30(D)cm
Ceramic
2024
The artwork exposes the cruelty of killing sharks for their fins, highlighting the urgent need to preserve marine biodiversity. This geode-like vessel represents the ocean’s beauty, with vibrant sharks swimming toward the vessel’s mouth, only to lose their fins, depicted like sharp teeth around the opening. This transformation captures the brutality of shark finning, which is driven by demand for shark fin soup and threatens shark populations. Sharks are vital to ocean ecosystems, and their loss destabilizes marine life. Through this piece, the artist urges respect for these creatures and an end to the unnecessary cruelty of finning.

ISSUES: Stray Cats

“Caring for a pet is a commitment to their well-being, a truth I encountered firsthand when I took in two stray kittens. Their transformation from vulnerable strays to beloved companions highlighted the urgent issue of stray cat populations and their impact on our environment. Stray cats, as natural hunters, disrupt local ecosystems and contribute to shelter overcrowding. Through my ceramic art, I seek to raise awareness of this complex issue, encouraging conversations around responsible pet ownership and compassionate intervention. Together, we can help create safer communities for stray cats and support a healthier balance within our ecosystems.”

I Stand Fine, yet a Summit Hidden Within
Raimi Sani
122 x 122cm
Oil on Canvas
2025
These portraits confront the hidden weight of undiagnosed pain where strength is mistaken for wellness and silence is forced by disbelief. They uncover the storm behind composure, showing how endurance can be misread as ease. The works insist that suffering is neither invisible nor imagined and call for recognition, compassion and justice for those carrying unspoken burdens.

The Fading and Being
Yuki Tham
120 x 100cm
Oil on Canvas
2025
This work meditates on memory, nature, and urban change. Ghostlike buildings rise against forested mountains, while tiny workers embody human ambition. Through solid and translucent forms, it reflects time, loss, and the tension between what is built and what quietly endures in memory.

Riding the Viral Wave
Shafiq Nordin
100 x 80cm
Acrylic on Canvas
2025
“Riding the Viral Wave” satirizes Malaysia’s obsession with virality, where social media turns trivialities into national focus. A koi once symbolizing perseverance is aimlessly ridden, reflecting shifting values of success. With hibiscus as backdrop and bubble tea in hand, the work humorously critiques a society chasing online attention over progress.

Whispers Behind The Mask I, II & III
Amy Nazira
35.5(H) x 17.5(W) x 4(D)cm each
Oil on Hand Fan (with glass box frame)
2025
“Whispers Behind the Mask” combines sculpture and painting to explore Japanese identity, folklore, and hidden narratives. Each piece portrays a figure with masks such as the kitsune, cat, and tengu, showcasing the mythological richness of Japanese culture and reflecting the duality between what is seen and unseen. Through vibrant colors and stylized imagery, I merge tradition with contemporary expression, inviting viewers to consider how myth, culture, and imagination shape personal identity.
