In this piece, I painted one of my favourite memories made whilst living in Malaysia. This artwork captures the exciting moment of my first official dive after getting my PADI license, tightly holding my best friend’s hand while the instructor quickly shot this photo underwater. Though this artwork does not accurately represent my anxious and nervous feelings, I recall exactly how I felt the first time we went under the sea. I was able to dive in many other Malaysian islands after that and build unforgettable memories. with the people I met there. This was one of the most challenging and adventurous experiences of my life, and it will serve as a vivid reminder that if I genuinely believe in myself, I can achieve anything.
