Lee Jia Xin described her artwork as an exploration of relationship between the listener and the speaker that enable them to interact with each other using installed tin cans. Since Young Contemporaries Award was first organised by the National Art Gallery in 1974, it has been a prestigious art competition which has successfully identified and rewarded many talented local drawing artists who have now become pivotal movers and established figures in the Malaysian visual art scene as well as abroad.
