Temenggong Artists-In-Residence X Lasalle College of the Arts

CONCEPT OF ARTWORK

The painterly strokes and colours on this Malayan Tiger are abstract representations of their habitat. The landscape of clouds and vast wilderness signals a sense of loss as the Tigers are losing their home, eventually leading to losing the Tigers. Facing the perils of extinction, this Tiger calls out for global awareness and education in the hope of increasing their population, protecting their habitat, eradicating human and environmental threats, and providing them the peaceful nature that is rightfully their home.
