Broken keyboards, unused wires, outdated motherboards and a plethora of discarded computer parts are some of contemporary artist Nor Tijan Firdaus' favourite materials used to make art.

In her second solo exhibition Seek (which runs through Feb 26), the works see the adventurous Klang-based sculptor raising awareness about environmental issues and highlighting the creative potential of discarded e-waste materials, and staying true to a recycling mindset.
