Notes

"A visual sensation of order within chaos; protons and neutrons; life's smallest and most elementary form - yet charged with great energy. The path of human civilization will always be confronted with various opposing forces, both pushing and pulling. The measure of humanity is determined by how humans adapt and find solutions. The colour red embodies the passion and ambition that drive and sustain humanity to continue on their long journey, like a vast expanse of landscape, punctuated by sparks. The energy and ambition that generates from this will undoubtedly result in changes and it is humanity's most challenging task to control this. Unlike visually verbal works, "Merah" (Red) focuses on the emotion and the consciousness in understanding the essence of our life journey, with all its symbols and signs."
