hidup enggan, mati tidak mahu

Acrylic, 35mm film strip, paper cutout on wood, 2020

The piece  is inspired by old Malay film magazines from the 50s and 60s, with embellishments like the film strip to match the bespoke designs from that era and a cutout of me dressed in vintage garb. the cutout itself is distorted to symbolise my fractured self-image and relate to the peribahasa.
