What happens when you are away on an artist residency and a pandemic strikes?
In CC Kua’s case, the implementation of the movement control order (MCO) in March meant three things: her residency at Rimbun Dahan, which was supposed to end in early April, was extended by a month; she spent several weeks at the garden-like residency grounds on her own (the other artists left before MCO started); and she sang (Celine Dion's) All By Myself every day – which ended up being the title of her current solo exhibition at The Back Room in Kuala Lumpur.
