Hypermorph Garden 4.0 Series

This series of paintings featuring flora, fauna and my personal speculations about the histories of Sungai Batu 788 BC – The Great Kingdom of Kedah Tua. This place is in the mangrove forest not far from Jetty Semeling, Kedah State in Malaysia. The forest has splendid salt-tolerant trees. It provides a buffer zone to protect the land from wind and wave damage. Through this series of paintings, I aim to initiate 1) introduction of the mangroves forest and the historical site, 2) public awareness to protect the mangrove, 3) public awareness to protect the river – River Merbok.

Hypermorph Garden 4.0 series has 15 pieces of mixed media paintings, which the content on each canvas is interconnected to each other, to elaborate a comprehensive scene around the mangrove forest. Each canvas is W122 x H152.5cm, the series has 15 pieces which they make the interconnected length to become 1,830cm. 

Hypermorph Garden 4.0 was exhibited inside a custom-made dome tent situated at the entrance of the mangrove forest reserve at Jetty Semeling, Kedah State in Malaysia. Diameter of the dome tent was 10meters. The hemispherical space of the tent created an immersive environment with impressive peripheral vision of the series.
