What inspires you?

I draw inspiration from experiencing the present moment, interacting with people and exploring new places. There's an energy that comes from living fully in the moment, fueling my creativity. I strive to imbue my work with the same sense of immediacy and aliveness found in the present.

Describe your creative process.

My creative process is rojak, meaning "messy" or "mixed" in Malay. I gather inspiration from my surroundings, art, and culture, and let my ideas flow freely, exploring different possibilities without judgment. This involves experimentation, trial and error, and taking risks. Eventually, the pieces start to come together, and I refine and polish my work until I'm satisfied. This approach leads to work that is both messy and tasty – a true reflection of my creative process.
