This June, reconnect with your inner child and explore your emotions at “Embrace the Unknown”, an art installation by award-winning Malaysian artist, Pamela Tan. Inspired by the highly anticipated Disney and Pixar film “Inside Out 2”, the art piece promises to take visitors through an immersive and expansive emotional journey from now till 30 June 2024 at The Exchange TRX Mall.

Known for her work that blurs creative boundaries, the vibrant installation reflects Tan’s personal journey towards emotional acceptance, enriched by nuances of her childhood. She uses the film’s characters, Joy and Anxiety, to symbolise the dual forces of stability and disruption within the human psyche. Robust, yellow metal structures that embody Joy’s strength, contrasted with chaotic orange strings that depict Anxiety’s tumultuous influence, help to mirror the complexities of life but also challenge societal norms that equate emotional restraint with virtue.

Members of the public are invited to interact with the artwork which also incorporates playful stress balls to explore their emotional landscape. Ahead of Inside Out 2’s premiere on 13 June, visitors are encouraged to revisit the wonders and emotions of their inner child.
