FRUITY FEMS, is a series that came into fruition in London where I attended a
drawing workshop and we were given Renaissance paintings as reference
to interpret from our own point of view.
I was unsurprisingly drawn to the beauty and intimacy of subtle Sapphic
moments within these paintings, albeit some bizarre positions and situations.
Continued in Malaysia, This series is an amalgamation of inspirationsthat
envelope me today; Nature, Renaissance paintings and historical art, my
obsession with colour, and my admiration for the women who fearlessly
love other women.
Each piece represents the etymology of the colours in the Pride flag, and
the scenes highlighting the quite moments within these verbose paintings
where these women share intimate moments that are a little bit fruity...

Growing up, sex was always used as a weapon to shame and control.
Whether in its orientation, expression or desire, sex was shunned
yet expected as a woman.
The question would always linger - why would the universe create
sex as a natural part of life to be demonised? Queer love has shown
me it’s possible to embrace both, that the two are inseparable. Both
are to be celebrated.
