The document discusses four murals/artworks by different Malaysian artists. The first artwork, "Melting" by Cloakwork, addresses global warming and uses bright colors and three-dimensional shapes. The second, "Single Mother" by Kenji Chai, depicts an orangutan swinging in an urban setting to represent a mother's love. The third work, "Rotan" by Tang Mun Kian, shows a mother asking her son which cane he wants for punishment. It commemorates a rattan shop. The fourth artwork, "Jimmy Choo" by Baba Chuah, depicts the proud parents of Jimmy Choo in front of a sculpture honoring his beginnings at a shoe store.
