Her workspace, a desk beside her bed, is filled with an assortment of carving, moulding and painting tools. These brushes, paint tubes, tweezers and cutters are what miniature artist Lim Pui Wan uses to create tiny masterpieces.

Her latest project is a kitchen 12 times smaller than the original, complete with worn-out walls, a wooden cupboard, a countertop, “Peranakan” tiles and an old rice cooker.
