Pepatung
2016

Pepatung is closely related with the artist’s childhood recollections of the dragonfly. As a child, the dragonfly used to be one of the many articles he used to play with in his past time. Children, including the artist himself, used to cut off the wings of the dragonfly; an act of mischief that was regarded as entertaining amusement.

This memory remains with Sabihis, as he realises today that there are no more dragonflies flying around his kampung (village) like before, a result of the changes that has occurred to the landscape. To the artist, the man with the mask symbolises his different identities, as well as the strength of man.

About the artist
