The Place We Landed I
Aimman Hafizal
50(H) x 39(W )x 46(D)cm
Acrylic Painted on Wood
2025
Kuala Lumpur as a site of artistic experimentation, where the city's layered history and rapid transformation serve as both subject and medium. By choosing this metropolis as a focal point, the artwork uncovers the unseen narratives within its urban fabric, the stories of migration, resilience and adaptation. The forest symbolizes both mystery and exploration, mirroring the experience of those who journey here to carve out a life. Through this work, the artist examines how Kuala Lumpur is more than just a city; it is a living landscape where dreams and realities converge, shaping identities and redefining the notion of home.

Komodozilla: Hero or Villain?

2025
The artist reimagines the Malay proverb "Malang Pak Kaduk, ayamnya menang kampung tergadai," which means a fleeting victory can bring great loss. Through the tale of a carefree Komodo lizard who takes one innocent bite of a magical fruit and transforms into the colossal Komodozilla, he illustrates how joy can turn to devastation. Hero or Villain? This work reflects how small actions can lead to irreversible consequences.

In Rewriting The Stars, the artist reimagines timeless proverbs through a cosmic adventure. A civilization of intelligent frog aliens shatters the "katak di bawah tempurung" stereotype, while a brilliant mouse engineer redefines "bagai tikus membaiki labu" by turning a pumpkin into an interstellar spaceship.

Inspired by the Malay proverb "Bagai pungguk rindukan bulan", which speaks of yearning for the unattainable, The Moonlit Dreams reimagines this longing. Under a glowing moon, owls no longer yearn hopelessly—they soar toward it, embracing their connection. This painting challenges fate, proving that with courage, the unattainable is merely a flight away. Dreams await those bold enough to pursue them.
