KUALA LUMPUR: In an age saturated with images, how often do we slow down and truly look at the people around us?
It is easy to behold human forms on the surface level, forgetting that they often hold traces of struggle, tenderness, and resilience that reveal far more than what is immediately seen.
With this in mind, portrait photography exhibition “rupa” – meaning “form” or “appearance” – brings together a diverse collective of artists who approach portraiture not as simple record-making, but as an intimate act of storytelling, to reveal the layered and often unseen dimensions of human identity.
