Recognised for its elegant gourd-like shape, Labu Sayong reflects generations of local craftsmanship, patience and artistic skill. More than a decorative object, it is part of Perak's cultural identity.

Sayong celebrates this treasured heritage through Alice's colourful interpretation. With its arms raised and flowing, branching patterns across its body, the bear transforms a traditional craft-inspired story into a lively contemporary sculpture.

The artwork offers visitors a chance to discover the creativity behind Malaysian craftsmanship and the importance of keeping traditional skills alive.

Through Sayong, Alice reminds us that heritage is not only found in historic buildings or monuments, but also in the beautiful objects created by the hands of our artisans.
