Measure of Seeds

Syarifah Nadhirah, Visual Artist | Zikri Rahman, Curator

Measure of Seeds

Syarifah Nadhirah's ‘Measure of Seeds’ is  a mini showcase featuring a five-part etching  series, a sewn installation, and a collection of curiosities. It's described as an ecological pursuit to understand the ephemerality and transformation of our fragile landscape, attempting to recollect the geographical history of plantations in Malaya, whilst exploring the idea of plant migration across continents. We find out more about this body of works and the themes it explores from the artist herself, and also from Zikri Rahman, the curator of the exhibition.
