About Dinosaurs

By Muhammad Fadhil Bin Abdul Jalil, Metta Welfare Association. Arts at Metta

In this batik art piece, Fadhil draws playful inspiration from the everyday behaviours and distinct personalities of colleagues observed during their tea breaks, reimagining each one as a dinosaur with its own unique character and presence. The work is rooted in affectionate observation, finding humour and warmth in the familiar rhythms of shared daily life. It is a work that celebrates the quiet comedy of human connection, rendered with wit, fondness, and a distinctly prehistoric flair.
