A walk with arborists in the city of Kuala Lumpur.

no roads without trees

This body of work is part of an artistic inquiry and project called ‘Roots and Ruins’. It looks at mapping socio-ecological aspects of significant historic trees in Kuala Lumpur, that defied the test of time, trees uprooted naturally, and unnaturally and trees exhibiting a sense of place. By reflecting on popular landscape trends and the city’s chaotic urbanization, it chronicles the architecture of roadside trees and traces the historical greening of Kuala Lumpur pre and post-independence.

recalling forgotten tastes

A book that serves to reintroduce the flavours of the past and the present, through the lens of Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia.
