Mirrors #1 : Paper Doll, Wicker Man

Is it hard to look at the sun
To find out that you're the only one
Standing alone in a field of dreams
As the universe is being ripped at the seams

Is it painful to look into yourself
Seeing nothing there, a world bereft
Of the very things that made it whole
Leaving nothing but the cutting cold

I walk this path of mirrored halls
I knock my head on death-hard walls
Burning friendships on pyres of aspiration
We all despair at the death of inspiration

Walk past me but don't call my name
Talk to me, and then please aim
Your bow that shoots arrows of fire
And maybe - probably - I'll light up with desire

Take my hand and walk into the flame
Don't fret, this is all just a game

-Azwar Zaim

Mirrors #2 : Sorrow Cycle

The soft touch of your fingers find me
Mesmerized, I turn to you to see
A sweet smile. a tingling melody
Of the tender kisses that you showered onto me

Holding your body close to mine, I wonder
How long would this last, how far, how tender?
As we sail into the night leaving the world, alone
Would we find heaven's bells, or just a chilling, empty moan?
Invariably we cry out tears that aren't there
Before marching off again, unaware

Dip Fine Art Final Year 2009: The "Lost" Series

2009-07-20T18:07:00.015+08:00

after 3 years of an AWESOME life as a fine art student

in the Malaysian Institute of Art, I've finally finished

my 6th and final semester....

throughout my diploma course, I've learned a hell lot,

the most amount of knowledge that i could've gotten

out of 3 years; and that from the many interesting

characters which I've become acquainted with,

who may or may not knowingly made a difference

in my life and my perceptions....

so special thanks to jessica, esther, juli, mafudz, 'aizzad,

martin, mamat, nigel...thank you guys!

and especially dhavin, for everything...

anyway, this is my final series for my diploma in fine art...

This is the Lost Series.

"This series is a depiction of my experience with different kinds of loss,

and ultimately, my yearning for them.

With the play of space, and apparent contrast,

I express the void that is in my heart that I've slowly

becoming accustomed to;

And by using earthy colors,

I further emphasize my vulnerability as a human

being in facing these losses which has brought me

the greatest sorrow,

yet has finally made me a stronger person now."

The Living Canvas

2008-06-13T00:14:00.005+08:00

This is my close buddy's body which I've 'borrowed' for my
Desktop Publishing class project.

When I started taking photos of him from different sides and angles,
he actually said; "I feel like as if we're doing porn instead of your computer project...Hahaha!!"

Anyway, this is my most treasured work 'cause I actually came up with EVERYTHING,
from the title to the design and etc etc etc....plus, it took me 4 freakin' hours to come up with and draw out the design on paper, and a whole day to draw-FROM SCRATCH, MIND YOU-on computer.

I know, from the looks of it, it doesn't seem much work since the design's rather simple,
but I'm a very restless person who can't sit still for more than 1 1/2 hours, much less a whole day. Plus, I'm quite a perfectionist so you can imagine how it goes...

However, it all paid off 'cause I got an 'A' in my final assessment results (Wooohooo!!!!)
and this final Living Canvas work is everything that I wanted it to be:
-PERFECT-

P.S.-The design I did is in the middle of my buddy's back and the rest,
they're his. Hehehe... ;P

Abstract Objects

2008-06-02T00:05:00.004+08:00

Anyway, yeah, this is my 1st deliberately-meant-to-be abstract painting
(unlike the one which i did during 2nd semester, which by the by, unintentionally turned out to be abstract in the end...hehe)
And it is a painting of a combination of random man-made objects
(after countless manipulation such as rotation, subtraction, addition, reflection, all that...)
