Artist Statement
MAWAR, MAKHLUK DALAM KULIT SENDIRI (Rose, Alien in her own skin)
Is about a human obsession to hoard things that supposedly add to to a persons identity.
The girl's face is rendered from multiple faces making her look distorted, all isolated
from the decaying reality on the outside.

Self taught
Painting, printmaking, sculpture
A Curiosity of how people and things work
led me to making things which allow an examination
of my location by means of stories.
The artwork become my workspace where
I draw up aspects and matters
relating to my address.
The several bodies of work I make;
provide ‘routes for exploration’ to an idea.
