Dancing away in objection with Tony Yap
My eighth candidate for Project Exodus; Tony Yap, an accomplished dancer, director, choreographer and visual artist. Born in Malaysia, Tony Yap has been away for 35 years, living and working in Australia. His critically acclaimed works in dancing has taken him to many countries and have seen him collaborated with dancers from around the world. A bright red wall on the far side of the office next to the entrance caught my attention. I needed something simple. As I was in a rush, I decided to just use the background. I also thought the fiery red tone would best portray Tony as an energetic dancer. Coupled with a serious and pensive look which I told him to put on, the resulting image was something I'm more than happy with.

A dissenting voice from down under
Sumi has been kind enough to help me spread the word on Project Exodus. She will be bringing back with her some A5 flyers I've printed regarding this initiative. I've been distributing them in cafes, restaurants, art centres etc in Malaysia. So far, I haven't had any luck, except for a handful of people who emailed me expressing their support for what I'm doing. Some preferred not to participate for personal reasons, but promised to help spread the word.
