Artwork Description
Strongly themed around the ebbing away of traditional wear from daily life, the artist invites the viewer to reminisce the heyday of the kebaya. Showcasing a good mastery of the watercolour medium, the artist is able to bring to the fore, the minute details of the derelict kebaya framed by the grainy wooden interior of a kampung house. The artwork exudes a sense of abandonment through the portrayal of the lone kebaya, concealing in its simplicity, the thorny issue of cultural identity.
