In the process of exploration and finding the right concepts I have this idea of collage playing in my mind. I am not sure if this can be considered as a way to visualise my argument but I was engaged and eagered to produce this piece. I was playing around with images and thought if it can be a way to produce the images, and highlight my point. But now as it is ready, I don&#8217;t feel right. I don&#8217;t think this is the direction I want to take. The reason behind it is, I think I got distracted. What I wanted to do here is to find a way or concept to represent or highlight what I am arguing by showing how. The idea is to take the readers in a journey and ongoing journey of five decades in Malaysia. With this piece it is not a journey, instead it is more of making a statement, which is not really the path I want to take. Not in this way. My idea is to make the reader think about what is there and start a discussion, not by providing the reader with statements.  I will keep this piece and perhaps it will be useful for another project.<br \/>\n<em>* Collage images are taken from wanita&#8217;s magazine cover dated from 1970&#8217;s, 1980 and 1990&#8217;s<strong> <\/strong>(artist own collection)<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Wanita, Constructed!
