For many people, reading comments on social media can be a distressing experience. While there can some positive input, comment sections (on Facebook, YouTube, Instagram and the like) most often tend to attract negativity from Internet trolls.

Klang Valley-based artist Ruzzeki Harris, however, finds these comment sections interesting. So interesting, in fact, that he sometimes draws inspiration from them for his work.
