Statement:
This work reflects on the historical attributes of a space.
Through seeking possibilities and way for art to survive in the
wilderness, it raises question on the cultural condition of Malaysia and
other related historical issues.
I made use of narrative and allegory - a parallel structure of myth and
history, to evoke and sketch out lexis, which are of doubtful questioning,
cynicism and dissolution; and eventually revealing signs and traces of
existence and survival within the work.
