What if we let nature 'speak' our emotions to our loved ones when we are far away from them? Drawing inspiration from the practice of belayar (voyage) in the Malay Archipelago during the 19th century, A Voyage of Love and Longing invites visitors to re-trace the complex emotions at its different points, from departure to return, through the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings.
Drawing references from the central topic of the voyage out to sea, a soft backdrop of translucent fluid texture envelopes the space, building upon layers of ephemerality.
