Malaysia, Africa, Scotland. When we were living in Africa, we were living in Gabon, which is on the equator and it’s extremely green and lush. Me and my brothers, we would always play outside, and my mom would dress us in red clothes so she could find us. Green and red are good opposites, so my mom was being very protective and practical. So that was the first time that I realised that colours do things to each other; you can make things disappear, you can make things pop.
for me, where some people can just move through it very easily; for me, it can be quite a lot. Sometimes it’s also limiting. I can’t live, for example, in my house with too many colours, because it just screams too loud. I’m too sensitive to it. So it’s something that I live with, something that I love. It’s also something that I’ve been able to make a career out of. So it’s also an economic, professional component now, which it wasn’t before.
