Nearly two years ago, visual artist Cheng Yen Pheng discovered a unique wau (traditional Malay kite) while researching and browsing through YouTube videos. It was an encounter that led her on an adventure to the East Coast of Malaysia.
Cheng was blown away when she stumbled upon the wau lang, known for its immense size, three-dimensional structure, and unique sound when it takes flight. In the videos she found, she managed to track down the wau lang makers, which led her to a kampung in Chendering, Kuala Terengganu.
