This series explores the story of Hang Li Po
through ink on rice paper. Using splash techniques
and expressive brushwork, each piece captures
fragments of emotion, displacement, grace,
and quiet resilience.

The materials echo the fragility of her journey,
while every stroke holds a part of her untold history.







In exploring the legend of Princess Hang Li Po,
the historical trail often leads back to the reign of
Sultan Mansur Shah (1459–1477), a timeline
that aligns with the Ming Dynasty in China.

During the early Ming period (1368–1644), smalt
cobal brought back by Admiral Zheng He’s
maritime expeditions, remained the primary pigment
for the renowned blue and white porcelain. These
porcelain works became symbols of technological 
sophistication and artistic refinement.
