Artwork Description

This contemporary art piece provides a strong socio-political commentary on the new political landscape of the nation. The artist feels strongly about the ordinary Malaysian’s right to freedom of speech as enjoyed by the nation’s parliamentarians. In this evocative piece, the artist utilises a variety of mediums such as colour pencils, acrylic, poster colours, and charcoal to bring definition to the artwork. A diverse assortment of old-fashioned soda bottles are used as a metaphor for the many faceted Malaysian public.
