Artist Ahmad Syakir Hashim’s new project greets visitors with an understated presence in the foyer of the National Art Gallery (NAG) in Kuala Lumpur, where he has given the space a uniquely contemplative feel.

His work features seven installations made from sheets of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), arranged in repetition upon sturdy steel structures.
