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.

It also symbolizes fortune and opportunity, much like the city’s endless possibilities for those who embrace change.
