This sculpture is made from old news papers and card board. It's inspired by all the underwater creators I have seen during my diving trips here in Sabah. The pattern is loosely inspired on a Mandarin fish. But as this is a much bigger fish (it is approximate 35 cm high and 60 cm long) I thought i would call in Orange; which is Jingga in the Malaysian language. Painted and varnished with Amsterdam / Expert acrylics and varnish from Royal Talens

This torso is standing 55 cm tall. The pattern is inspired on the traditional ladies dress in Sabah.
