You could go gungho on a jingo march with the martial strains of Malaysia Berjaya in the air, with this luxuriant display of the bunga raya (hibiscus or rosa sinensis). Yes, Zulkifli Yusoff’s works may be imbued with patriotic fervor but there is always some innuendoes or cautionary spoilsport device like the wilting stamen and a discernible vein-like line cutting across the composition in half. In monochrome, the lines of the petals in the giant whorls of the bunga raya represent perhaps an ageing, while a potted plant on the right reveals a promising upright growth but without blooms yet. In 2010, this major work was exhibited in Negaraku exhibition at the National Art Gallery (with an 8-minute short film by Kamal Sabran).
