Pak Ahmad and his creation.

"…This see-through spatio-shell structure is not mathematically formulated as many may assume.  It is simply an intuitive discovery, so to speak, in mathematical sense for I believe all forms created knowingly or unknowingly are not absent of judiciously purposeful plan unless unconsciously or deliberately done, in other words unaccountably playful, cynical or whimsical.  This is not so with my work.  It is a medium discovered, precise and fit, I think, for the theme of 'formal allegory', a visual suggestion on harmonious relationship, a Gestalt, between 'things' as a whole in unity, rhythm, order, contrast, balance, proportion, to name a few, just as one would reflect on or appreciate the unarbitrary composition of all immeasurably diverse living things interactively created in nature…"  

Above: Sakinah in production.

Sakinah (above and below) was the first large outdoor sculpture by resident artist Ahmad Osni Peii to be installed at Rimbun Dahan, in the Bulatan Plong in 1999. Two other pieces -- Geliat Nusantara (red piece) and Gelang Serai (white piece), were installed in 2005. All three are made of painted aluminium.
