'Kembali' is a Malay word that means to return, regain and get back to. Inspired by Islamic funeral rites, shreds of a cotton shroud (kafan) are covered in clay – an ode to the quintessence of material that man is believed to be created from and returned to at death.

Through meditative and introspective repetition, the artist attempts to confront her fear of mortality by handling the very materials used during the dying process. Resembling skin, Kembali symbolises her spiritual return to her convictions as a Malay Muslim woman. This is further accentuated by the flow of artwork towards the Qibla – the direction towards the Kaaba in Mecca which all Muslims face when performing prayers.
