Bukit Bintang is carefully constructed using multiple viewpoints to suggest spatial depth. Being an ultimate tourist spot in a bustling city, the artist used local cars such as the hardy Proton Saga, and street signs to depict Bukit Bintang in this composition. As the eyes are directed towards the centre, a trishaw suggests the development of vehicles that ranges from the traditional to modern.
