The local fruit mangosteen is transformed into an iconic symbol through the artist's playful experimentation of light and colour. A set of three pieces, each containing its own study of colour and patterns is on offer. The interplay of shadow and patterns adds rich detail alongside the fruit, as this seemingly daily subject evokes recollections of past experiences and a once familiar space.
