This series by Chun Wei is a psychological urban mapping of aerial, internalised and inter-penetrating planes with collage of media clippings, price stubs, torn calendars, and found objects such as straws and cigarette butts. A sense of transiency, multi-dimensional and moving perspectives emerge from the skillful reconstruction of deconstructed minute images, texts and intervening colour splotches and lines.

Outwardly, the composition looks like a chaotic mess with some of the collaged strips left intentionally sticking out, but upon closer inspection, the scaffolding of diverse elements is in fact very structured and methodically precise.In the catalogue of the Iskandar Malaysia Contemporary Art Show (IMCAS) 2009, the artist said, “I see art as a place where it dissects and humanises our otherwise impersonal information landscape.”
