In Imprint of Native, the artist pays homage to the pioneering spirit of Yeh Chi Wei, fusing Southeast Asian cultural identity with modernist sensibilities. A solitary, elongated figure stands with quiet strength, set against a richly textured mosaic of abstract forms and symbolic motifs reminiscent of traditional batik and temple carvings. The earthy palette—dominated by deep ochres, burnt reds, and indigo blues—evokes the vibrancy and ritualistic essence of indigenous cultures.

Balancing abstraction and figuration, this work reflects a contemplative search for cultural roots and spiritual resonance. Like Yeh Chi Wei’s legacy, it serves as a bridge between ancient heritage and contemporary expression, imprinting the soul of the native onto the modern canvas.
