I grew up in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, on the island of Borneo in Malaysia, a place filled with cherished childhood memories. One of my most significant discoveries during this time was my enduring passion for working with clay. My father played a important role in this journey; he worked as a kiln master at a brick factory specialising in red clay bricks.

During my school holidays, I loved accompanying him to the factory. Occasionally, We stopped by the villages to visit the eldest and left me playing with the local children. While he focused on his work, I explored the medium of clay, shaping small objects, climbing in and out of the kiln, and observing the workers as they carefully stacked bricks inside the kiln. The entire brick-making process fascinated me, especially the thrilling moments when my father added wood to the fire holes. The crackling sounds and the rich aroma of burning wood left a lasting impression on me, even with my limited understanding of the complex processes involved at such a young age.

Professionally, I am a graphic designer, and my career path reflects a natural evolution from my childhood interest in the visual arts. However, my strong passion for ceramics led me to engage in part-time pottery lessons at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art, which catalysed my deeper commitment to this discipline.

Following an initial period dedicated to pottery, I embarked on a journey into ceramic sculpture, creating pieces inspired by my childhood experiences. My artistic inspiration frequently derives from natural elements and significant events, each capable of conveying a narrative.

Relocating to Europe was a significant event that profoundly impacted my perspective. I was captivated by the cultural differences in this region, which reflected diverse beliefs and a vibrant art scene. These factors influenced my work and thought processes. Once again, clay has emerged as a vital medium for articulating my inner self.
