In her fifth solo exhibition The Last Star Before The Dawn at Wei-Ling Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Cheong Kiet Cheng invites us into her world of art, meditation and spiritual connection.

Inspired by the concept of enlightenment and the impermanence of all things, her work captures the essence of existence and encourages introspection. Through her unique artistic process and connection with her spirit guide, she brings forth intricate details in her art that embody the beauty and fragility of life.
