Mastura Abdul Rahman produces visually stimulating paintings through her manipulation of isometric and aerial perspectives of home interiors particularly of the traditional Malay, using a combination of traditional motifs and the presence of domestic objects that represent the artist’s locality. The result is an invigorating exploration of cultural expressions and heritage continuity.
