Intricately composed with fine details, a group of young children are enjoying outdoor activities, playing the traditional game congkak. Two standing kids are observing the game, and probably waiting patiently for their turn to play. M. Sukri used a warm colour scheme which mainly consists of natural brown green, and blue tones. Sukri Derahman's works assemble memories of childhood, through imaginative compositions of space filled with life.
