Tampi Sensei (2024)
Medium: Leftover fabrics weaved on a wicker basket.
Story: During one of the visits to Pasar Chow Kit to collect the food waste, the KLCD team was made aware of the transitions of the historical old market by the locals and found ourselves with the responsibilities of sharing the stories of the old tenant. The wicker basket or Tampi used for this installation was scavenged from the old medicine shop named Sensei. The clothes weaved in the installation are leftover fabrics from the project and can be seen as a representation of the souls weaving in and out of the market.
