About
Hi, I'm Z (they/dia).I am a dopamine-driven self-taught artist who believes that we can make the world a better place through art, music, and education.Although I have been told that I have an idealistic way of looking at people or the world, my works are generally a combination of naive and nihilism (naivelism, if you will).Current Involvement(s):
• KLSN Bangsa PelakarProject(s) On Hiatus:
• #DaruratBanjir DirectoryPast Project(s):
• Art Collectives: MYArtjamming, Pink Tank
• Performing Arts: JALAN DALAM, TARIMOSI, Carthreena
art
Art is both a source of comfort and catharsis for me as it allows me to visualise my ideas and feelings that are difficult to put into words. Before 2020, I mostly did traditional art/crafts. My work is now mainly in digital form.
I enjoy experimenting, however I do gravitate towards cartoonish/childish art styles. I also do doodle-journalling (I call this doojo), which sometimes involving calligraphy or lettering.

Writings
As a verbivore, I flex my creative muscles using words whenever I can, for fun and/or for reflection. I believe in the power of words to move hearts and effect change.I have been a blogger for over 10 years on numerous topics. I also write poetry, some of which have been featured in zines and/or performed.Some of my public poems are available here.
