The Era Of Shadow Rising

Group exhibition entitled ‘Filtered’ at Wei Ling Gallery, KL - May 2007

The statement:

Shadow puppet is one of our precious cultural heritage. In the era of globalization and cyber technology, this art form seems to disappear slowly but surely. The new generation starts to seek new things, new media to tell a story. The truth is, without any proper conservation and planning, we will loose this priceless piece of art form. My work represents the revival of the evolved shadow puppet (wayang kulit). This time, the story is about the consequences of pollution on nature and the dying of the traditional art form.
