Done a year before her return to Malaysia, this still life painting of glasses is an extension of the artist’s interest in light. To her, painting glasses is like capturing light. The artwork depicts a set of five similar conical glasses arranged neatly on a table lined with patterned tablecloth. The light captured in the glasses escapes, each of them creating similar patterns of reflections and deflections according to the amount of light captured. The glasses, with their smooth and glossy surfaces, are symbols of ‘sugarcoated’ fancy nothings to distract one from the (lack of) content within them.
