Rhythm Between States
The text shared by Amir emits a sort of rhythms in-between states.
These are the rhythms between states and stateless, between states of being and becoming, between here and there, then and now. Or perhaps between here and now, there and then
These are rhythms of our bodies, between states of moving and stagnation, being moved and getting stranded, in motion and staying still. Or maybe between journeying and resting, migration and nesting.
These rhythms are vibrations and oscillations, between Kompang beats and Ghazal melodies, between adoption and adaptation. In between the seasons of monsoon and harvesting, lingering between history and memory, dry and wet.
They are anecdotes of the artworld encounters and Abang Jeri Kak Sita
A state between being broken and becoming (un)repaired
Distance between art (theory) and craft (making)
Full or emptiness
Systemic injustice and institutional receptions
Colonial violence and East meet West
And South meeting North
They shift between a state of
monologue and dialogue
wisdom and reflection
memoir and interview
human and machine
injustice and care
they are, we are
statelessness and mindfulness
of the 99 flagbearers and the 99 names
rhythm vibration oscillation
it flows (and overflows)
stop breathe
carry on
a to z
By Yap Sau Bin, artist and curator based in Kuala Lumpur

Title Self Portrait with Ibanese Rug
Medium: Acrylics on canvas | Year: 2021 | Size: 150 × 110 cm
Details:
“Self Portrait with Ibanese Rug” is rooted in my time in Miri, Sarawak. I bought the rug from an Ibanese family while staying in their longhouse during a video project on indigenous communities. Draping it across my face in this painting, I turn the rug into both mask and memory — a way of asking how heritage can conceal and protect, while also carrying stories of hospitality, tradition, and resilience. In this portrait, I become both myself and something beyond me: a figure woven from encounter, fabric, and place.

Title Camouflage for the soul
Medium: Acrylics on canvas | Year: 2025 | Size: 160 × 200 cm
Details:
This piece explores themes of concealment and identity through organic camouflage patterns. The muted earth-tones and layered textures reflect the tension between what we protect and what we reveal. The work is hand-finished, signed by the artist on the reverse, and ready to hang.
Title Shop til u flop
Medium: Collage, acrylics on canvas | Year: 2006 | Size: 150 × 110 cm
Details:
This work was created using cuttings from old art magazines, combined with acrylic paint on canvas. The collage fragments — layered advertisements, artworks, and cultural images — echo the overload of consumer culture, where identity is shaped by mass imagery and the act of consumption. By reconstructing these fragments into new forms, the piece questions the boundaries between art, commerce, and daily life.
