MALAYSIA

Jeffery C Y Lim, uses the the doorway as ‘a passage’ to his images. His works reflect on the need to resist the stereotyped way of going about in life.

Teh Ehurn Nee believes that we use shadows to project what we are but in reality we are not. Her portraits are about self reflection ‘good and bad shadows’.

Kelvin Chan’s work is about being alive and resisting death.

Norma Nordin crosses cultures and geographic zones to relate the struggle of a rickshaw puller in Dhaka with the waste of an abandoned trishaw in Malaysia, and how the use of the ‘national language’ eradicates diversities of culture in her own country.
