Veteran sculptor Tengku Sabri Tengku Ibrahim is no stranger when it comes to themes surrounding Nusantara myths and legends to inspire works of art.

His latest sculpture work Archelon, a prehistoric turtle made from concrete, latex, steel rods, fibreglass, and silicon, is set to find a new home at the bottom of the sea along Langkawi’s coastline.
