Solo exhibition of works by Mella Jaarsma, held at the Valentine Willie Fine Art, 11-13 March 2004, Kuala Lumpur. Jaarsma's mixed media drawings in various combinations of gouache, pencil, acrylic, conte and ink, and costume installations/performances are challenging and political commentaries addressing the controversial wearing of the veil. Says Adeline Ooi, "They are loaded metaphors of race, sexuality, authenticity and origins. They deconstruct identities; unearth deeper underlying issues of cultural representations, questioning humanity, individualism, religious beliefs, taboos, displacement and migration." (p.6)
