Acrylic on canvas
46 by 46 cm.; 18 by 18 in.
My Harimau is both a tribute and a warning. Honoring Malaysia’s national icon and apex rainforest predator, the work reflects the devastating reality that fewer than one hundred Malayan tigers are believed to remain in the wild.
Part of the artist’s PLIGHT series, the painting transforms an alarming statistic into a deeply personal encounter. It celebrates the tiger’s beauty, strength, and ecological importance while reminding us that its survival is inseparable from the health of Malaysia’s forests. My Harimau asks us to consider what is lost when a species disappears and underscores the urgency of protecting one of the nation’s most treasured inhabitants before it exists only in memory and art.
