After which she participated in residencies with Rumah Seni Selangor, Malaysia and Saung Banon Arts, Yogyakarta – where she was able to participate in various group exhibitions, allowing her to showcase her works alongside those of different artists.

Her works are inspired by everyday objects that are often overlooked, and the subject matter in her works usually explores the notions of time and self experience and occasionally includes current issues. By using hyper realistic techniques, she creates an illusion in her paintings which allows the audience to believe its tangibility. Thus, her paintings include distinguishable brush marks in order to emphasise its identity as a painting.
