One does not need to travel beyond the borders of their home country to create the best and most beautiful moments and memories. As an artist, YONGL illustrates the beauty of Malaysia via photography and digital artistry; and with his artwork, YONGL strives to demonstrate the beauty that we have in our own backyards which we may draw creative inspiration from and use as a canvas to create a masterpiece.

Mountains are essential formations on the face of Mother Earth that play an important role in our planet’s ecosystem — but what happens when they begin to disappear from our natural landscapes?
