Hailing from Klang, Malaysia, Nor Tijan Firdaus, a UiTM postgraduate specializing in Sculpture and minoring in Painting, unfolds a new chapter in her artistic journey with the exhibition “SEEK.” Following her impactful debut solo exhibition, “New Formal,” where she reimagined the works of Western and Malaysian modern masters, Tijan takes a deeper dive into discarded materials, sustainability, and materialism in her latest venture.

Her academic venture as an MA student at UiTM Jalan Othman, especially a seminar on sustainability in Art and Design, profoundly influences Tijan. This experience sparks her contemplation of the environmental repercussions of waste, seamlessly integrated into her art. Juggling the demands of a young family heightens her awareness of accumulating discarded items, leading to reflections on the pervasive throwaway culture associated with technology, clothing, toys, and furniture.

The exhibition’s title, “SEEK,” encapsulates Tijan’s ongoing journey of discovery and introspection, particularly her stance on anti-consumerism.
