Photos of His Menagerie

The artist tells how growing up under the influence of his mother, it is inevitable that he is a photographer, and one who is interested in questions about life. He responds to art critics who categorizes his works as ‘disturbing’ turning the attention back on these art writers.  The artist will hold his Malaysian debut in October at Wei-Ling Contemporary
