I have chosen to focus on the themes of Outliers and Dreamers in my sketches, with a dedication to the many individuals who often feel invisible, forgotten, or helpless. I have long held the belief that art has the power to inspire humanity and kindness, serving as a beacon of hope in our world. In the spirit of #KITAJAGAKITA, a movement that began in Malaysia as a means of fostering community support during the pandemic, I aspire to extend this initiative beyond Covid19. There are always families and individuals in need of a helping hand, and I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact that House of Hope, an organization I have collaborated with, has had on my community. Even a small contribution can go a long way in making a difference.
