The nostalgic part of Malaysia certainly proves as a muse for Shafurdin Habib, as he captures the beauty of unpolished buildings and raw daily lives at its best, untouched and flourishing. Although it is a simple depiction of the sceneries of a humble setting, Shafurdin fastidiously details every single bit and form of this piece, wowing the viewers with its complexity.
