ART IS AN EXTREMELY SATURATED FIELD. Some do it for a living, and others simply create for the satisfaction and joy that it brings. Cardin Phua is a 32-year-old creative based in Kuala Lumpur. He takes on videography projects from time to time. On the side, he crafts alien-esque 3D sculptures made from steel and acrylic. The consistent combination of blue and silver in his futuristic filament creation makes it a recognisable style.
Under his creative project he calls Lone Wolf & Club, Phua continues to explore his creativity in this new facet within the artistic realm.
