Hello, I’m an artist born in Melaka, Malaysia 2004  

I am a visual artist, and my work focuses on traces of memory, space, and emotion. Often, my inspiration comes from those easily overlooked details in life, such as cracks, smells, old objects, faded traces, or forgotten corners. These fragments become containers for emotions in my work, reminiscent of family, intimate relationships, childhood memories, and loss. I like to use materials with a sense of time and texture, such as clay , rusty iron, old paper, recycled materials, and smells. These media not only record my memories of the past, but also allow me to find a "quiet and sincere" way of expression. My work is not noisy, but delicate and restrained, like whispering a very private story that can slowly penetrate into people's hearts. In the past few years, I have discovered that what I have been doing is actually a kind of nostalgia. Missing a person, a period of time, a smell, a space, or even some unspeakable feelings. I seem to be picking up these scattered memories one by one and putting them away gently. Sometimes it is a response, sometimes it is just companionship. I don't want to express anything strongly, but to use a quiet way to let those things that once existed slowly emerge. For me, this is a kind of soft resistance secretly leaving some traces that can be felt and remembered in the fast and indifferent rhythm. My works cover painting, ceramics and installation art, often combining objects, traces of handwork, smells and the reorganization of space to create an atmosphere between reality and memory. I hope that these works are not only "seen" but also "felt" - a place where emotions can be parked and feelings can be settled.
