In 'Instinct of Nature (Tiger)', Haziq Syawal captures the enduring spirit of Malaysia through the powerful symbol of the tiger. Referencing the historical title Harimau Malaya, the work evokes national pride and resilience, reflecting a country in motion, developing, evolving, yet rooted in a proud legacy.
The tiger stands not just as a majestic creature of the tropical rainforest, but as a metaphor for strength, courage, and determination. Its poised presence reminds us of Malaysia’s instinct to lead, to rise, and to reclaim its shine on the global stage. Haziq’s portrayal channels both natural instinct and national identity, affirming that the spirit of the tiger remains ever watchful, ever regal.
