Junjungan Kemerdekaan

Acrylic on Canvas

The title "Junjungan Kemerdekaan" plays on the word “Junjung” (to carry or uphold with respect) and reflects the spirit of upholding independence with pride and unity. Using bold colours, nostalgic visuals, and layered imagery, the artwork captures fragments of Malaysian life, from the clang of metal cups in kopitiams to moments shared over a glass of teh tarik.
This piece celebrates the everyday warmth, unity, and joy that shape our identity, especially during Merdeka month, when our diversity blends like tea and milk into something uniquely Malaysian.
"Junjungan Kemerdekaan" invites us to reflect, smile, and raise a mug to our heritage and the simple things that bring us together.

The Year of the Snake symbolizes transformation, adaptability and resilience, qualities mirrored in urban life. Just as a snake sheds its skin, cities evolve, requiring individuals to adapt and grow.
The snake’s mysterious nature reflects the hidden layers of the city, where people navigate challenges with wisdom and intuition. It also symbolizes fortune and opportunity, much like the city’s endless possibilities for those who embrace change. This connection highlights the urban experience as one of constant renewal, resilience, and the pursuit of new beginnings.

Fragmented Memory I

32(H) x 20(W) x 10(D)cm
Acrylic & Acrylic Resin on Brick
2025
In Fragmented Memory, the artist explores the notion of recollection through the creation of artefacts that resemble fragments of old architectural structures. Using lightweight bricks coated with acrylic resin for surface protection, he reconstructs pieces reminiscent of decaying cinema walls. Murals are painted onto these surfaces, featuring popular actors and iconic films from the 1970s. These visual elements evoke a spark of memory for those who lived during that era, drawing on both conscious and unconscious recollections. Through this work, the artist reflects on the impermanence of memory and the lingering presence of cultural nostalgia embedded in physical ruins.
