Several years ago, Kuala Lumpur-based artist Hug Yin Wan experienced a few dramatic events, all happening within a short frame of time. His mother was diagnosed with cancer, while his uncle succumbed to the disease. At the same time, his brother got married.
These unusual combination of events, of love juxtaposed with death, made Hug realise just how fleeting life was. A course of a life could change dramatically in just a day or two. Inspired, he began work on Transformation, a woodcut-based exhibition themed around the impermanence of life.
