Pixelated the tradition

Summary

As we enter the era of globalization and digital technology, I want to express art in a unique way. Beyond figurative representations, can Sarawak connect directly to traditional craftsmanship? This idea inspired me to combine woven bemban mats with painting.

Pixels are an essential part of modern life; they are the building blocks of the digital images we see daily. Higher image quality requires more pixels. In a similar way, each person in Sarawak represents a unique square, coming from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, collectively forming the unique imagery and social phenomena of this land.

traditional woven mats symbolize the beauty and detail of traditional craftsmanship and highlight its importance in today’s culture and art.
