Perhimpunan Nyamuk II.
Private Collection
"In her works ,Sharmiza uses various materials -constructed,fabricated or in their natural state -steel,mild steel,magnifying glass,coloured glass ,wire mesh,copper-tubing,copper plate calipers,cast iron,galvanised iron, wood and brass. She intricately crafts mosquito models in galvanised wire ,showing how such delicate creature can wreak lethal havoc,sapping at the moral fibre.When replicated in swathe as in 'Perhimpunan NyamukII'(mounted on velvet) ,ironically ,it looks like some elaborate filigreed jewellery trousseau;beguilinglygraceful and feminine. It is like a mind -teasing conduit to the realm of realisation, mirrorring the truth under scrutiny or deeper reflection."
