 I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to showcase my Kusudama origami art installation at A DAY 一日商号 in Fahrenheit 88, Kuala Lumpur. The exhibition, which ran from January 19th to February 2nd, 2025, was a beautiful journey into the balance between tradition and modernity, and I’m so thankful to everyone who visited and experienced it. The centerpiece of the installation featured a bamboo structure adorned with red ropes and delicate Kusudama origami pieces, symbolizing the strength of familial bonds and the unity of tradition. Surrounding it were eight large Kusudama pieces. The colors I have used in the kusudamas are in warm tones like red, orange, yellow, and gold, celebrating the joy and prosperity that our cultural heritage brings. But what made this exhibition truly special was the introduction of modern elements through the use of black, white, and purple Kusudama pieces. These contrasting colors highlighted the coexistence of modernity with tradition, inviting viewer...

 I’m so grateful to everyone who visited The Art of Origami Kusudama exhibition at Tsutaya Books Pavilion Bukit Jalil! Held from January 6 to February 2, 2025, it was an incredible experience to share my work with the public and showcase the beauty and complexity of origami kusudama.  A heartfelt thank you to Bukit Jalil Tsutaya Books for the invitation to display my kusudama paper folding art. This exhibition provided such a wonderful opportunity to dive into the world of geometric elegance and cultural fusion through the intricate art of paper folding. It was truly special to introduce visitors to the fascinating connection between mathematics and creativity. Exhibition Highlights: The exhibition was inspired by the 13 Archimedean solids, which form the structural foundation for each kusudama piece. These ancient geometric shapes, first explored by Archimedes, served as the perfect canvas for my origami creations. From the truncated dodecahedron to the rhombicuboctahedron, e...

 I’m excited to share that I recently hosted the Wellness 35 Origami Workshop, where participants joined me to fold beautiful Kusudama Lamps. This workshop wasn’t just about creating art—it was an opportunity to explore how origami can enhance mindfulness and focus, providing a calming and therapeutic experience. Held on September 21, 2024, at the peaceful Jetty35 潮人居 · 生活艺术空间, the two workshop sessions allowed everyone to immerse themselves in the soothing process of folding paper. Participants left with their own Kusudama Lamp, a symbol of creativity and mindfulness. Thank you to all who joined us, and if you missed it, stay tuned for future workshops where we continue to explore the wellness benefits of origami!

 A mighty thanks to the Alliance Française de Penang for inviting me to conduct an origami session during their Le French Festival 2024. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for origami with the children who participated. Teaching them the art of folding paper was not only a lot of fun, but it’s also an activity that’s great for brain development, enhancing skills such as concentration, problem-solving, and creativity. It was a joy to see their excitement as they learned something new, and I hope it sparked a lasting interest in both art and hands-on learning!

 I was truly glad to have the opportunity to lead an origami activity in celebration of International Women's Day. It was a wonderful way to bring people together and celebrate the creativity and strength of women. I’ve always believed that embracing diversity and inclusion is essential to building a better and more equitable future for everyone. Today, we honor and recognize the incredible contributions of women in every field and corner of the world. Here’s to all the amazing women out there—your impact is immeasurable!

I would like to thank Guang Ming Daily for taking the time to interview me and learn more about my work in origami art. In the interview, I had the opportunity to share how origami is not just an art form but also has strong ties to the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). I believe it’s important for people to strengthen their knowledge in these areas as they are essential for nation building.
