This work was painted for the WWF charity art show, with the theme Water for Life. It was done during the artist’s residency at Rimbun Dahan, and she decided to paint it after finding the large earthen urns right in front of her studio. These receptacles were used to store water and food in the early days before the advent of modern conveniences such as refrigerators. In those days, large number of jars all filled up signified abundance. Painted from the top view, the open lids from the regime of urns fosters an intriguing pattern.
