“Pegon Arabic or sometimes called Jawi (in the Malay region) are letters derived from Arabic writing (which came together with Islamic beliefs) which were then transformed and used for local languages.

This has inspired me to make works using Arab Pegon in visual works both in the form of paintings, installations and objects.”
