The artwork, depicting high-rise buildings symbolizing Kuala Lumpur’s rapid growth, framed in an antique oriental wooden frame, creates a striking contrast between modernity and tradition. Within the exhibition theme Urban Narratives, this juxtaposition suggests a dialogue between the city’s evolving skyline and its cultural heritage. This interplay invites viewers to consider the complexities of urbanization, where progress reshapes the city while cultural identity persists within its transformation.
