Original Artwork - Syed Alwi Shophouse in Jalan Besar, 2025

The windows of this shophouse on Syed Alwi Road is so unique! I saw them on the internet and had to find them in person :) It was so beautiful but it was occupied by not-so-aesthetic massage parlours and hotpot restaurants. 

So I reimagined shopfront to be a vintage tailor shop, full of charm and rustic feels. It is also a little tribute to my mum’s love for sewing. If you look closely at the shopkeeper, that's her!
