Hui-Jyu is an artist fascinated by relationships – relationships between couples, between lovers, within families, between friends and even strangers. She observed that when we interact one with another or in a group, it is inevitable that some parts of us get entangled with the other. Her work is a continuous exploration of the interconnectedness caused by our interactions or relationships. In Hui-Jyu’s work, she loves to interweave, interlock, overlap her subjects. She loves to portray intimacy; the blending of two and the fusion of two becoming one is a constant theme of the artist. She also love colours, evident in her works. She was one of the 5 Major winners the in Philip Morris Malaysian Art Awards 1995 with an artwork from this series. Wan Hui-Jyu artworks are in the collection of the Malacca State Museum.
