Inspired by the theme of legendary Malay warriors, this painting exudes “a sense of mystery and destiny”. It depicts a figure dressed in traditional period costume and grandiose head dress swayed by the wind, face obscured by gestural layers of dripping paint, which leads to reflections on history and identity.
