Upcycling is the process of converting an old or discarded materials into something useful and often beautiful. By putting together the thing that other people throwing out, I feel that it really bring them to live. In my body of work I tend to focus on the environmental issues that now our earth facing through (The Climate Change Crisis). I used discarded material to bring them to live again with a different level of appreciation as it’s has once belonged to the earth and been once give a human a life. By putting these recycled items in the foreground, I try to bring out their metaphysical form that connects them with human activity. That’s what I can related to Dato' Mohammed Hoessein Enas’s painting, which he more to depicting the Malay ideal of beauty and character, traditional culture and tradition. While mine more to restructuring the past with present to represent maybe the future. I used a famous historical painting by Dato' Mohammed Hoessein Enas with title Javanese Girl, 1954 and re-portrait it using discarded material in my way. My motivation resides in the technical challenge that implies objects left behind. The explored of material used in my body of work is in extrinsic and intrinsic property of the material in relationship with the narrative. Like an anthropologist, I am endlessly in search of traces left by Human. In short, I tried to allow both to satisfy an aesthetic expectation and also cause the viewer to question the object and its relationship to the urban world. I really hope that my artwork can bring the viewer to think on the notion of back-and-forth between the immanent and the transcendent.
