Introduction

The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences, that go on and are pushing all times. Our lives are not our own, from womb to tomb, past and present,  each crime and kindness rebirth our future. What are we living for? Is there any heaven or hell? The answer is unknown. But I believe death is only a door, when its closes, another opens. If I can't imagine heaven, I would imagine that door open.

The exhibition title "Configuration 2015" draw me a big picture of spirit, soul, and body. With the background of pudu prison, it has great meaningful message for myself. And it also for me to conclude the series of pudu jail,  although the pudu prison is gone (under the development project of Bukit Bintang City Centre - BBCC) , the spirit has become a gift to me rather than a curse.  (hopefully it will also a gift to everyone)

Art work description
It is the interior building structure of pudu jail. Six convicts are waiting in the cells before being hanged at the execution room. Outside the cell rooms, wardens are busy executing the giant convict on the well (hell). The giant convict is regret what the mistakes he has done, he believe that the body is going into the hell (like many dead convicts before him). However, from my point of view, a man is truly sorry for his mistakes that will turn in a free man, which the walls will turn bright like a wing, and finally the lost spirit will return to the starry sky.
