In case you haven’t noticed, giant safety "matchboxes" have been popping up around Kuala Lumpur, capturing the attention of drivers and pedestrians alike. These eye-catching urban art pieces are the work of street artist and illustrator Chern Loo, better known as Cloakwork.
"I first came across this half-opened, abandoned storage unit in a parking lot at Setiawangsa LRT station. It looked intriguing, so I thought, why not give this object a new life? It could make the area look less rundown and bring some colourful energy to the people who park there and use public transport," says Cloakwork, 33, in a recent interview.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
