Our first project for semester 2 was to do an infographic board. Everyone was given a local artist to research on and I was given ABDUL MULTHALIB MUSA.
Abdul Multhalib Musa is a contemporary metal sculptor with international Backgrounds. He was born in Penang in and studied in University of Adelaide gaining a degree in Design Studies in then went to UITM to pursue a degree in Architecture. He uses metal because he likes to challenge himself to manipulate a hard material into something fluid.

Two Sides was constructed for the Olympics in Beijing. It was said that it &#;illustrates the need for everyone to break barriers, in order to unite our opposing views.&#;
Before constructing the actual piece, being a former architecture student he did a series of study models for light studies.
