A dance graduate from University of Malaya, With an eclectic eye for the potential of various materials in artistic expression, Rithaudin has an instinct to transform humdrum objects into the unusual, sometimes magical. His visual signature, melded with motifs and artifacts from Suluk culture and Sabah’s rich tradition render his creations alternate between  graceful or grotesque, dreamlike or nightmarish. He prefers to operate  within a site-specific frame, and is particularly drawn to using bodies of water, which in his works operate ambiguously both to cleanse and to muddy, offering safe landing or added risk.
