“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.
