In a world where voices often dominate, hearing- and speech-impaired artist Nur Amiratul Farahin Ab Rahman lets her art speak volumes.

Though a person with disabilities, this 28-year-old Malaysian artist from Johor Baru has broken through communication barriers to create internationally celebrated artwork, which has been chosen as part of the official gifts for Asean leaders at the 46th Asean Summit.
