i) “Blub blub”, Pipi’s fish pet, hanging above the hole is also one of her imaginary companion. It keeps her away from loneliness and sadness.
ii) The magic world that Pipi created inside the hole that she drawn is a world that is without stress from the real world.

THE CONCEPTS
4. INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION The back lane reflects the Chinese culture in the olden days through the design and colour scheme used.
2. SPACE The Boy (Personal Space) - Leaning on the window and staring outside the sky, curious about the world outside and wanting freedom.
The Cats (Public Space) - Crawling everywhere and scratching the wall. It has the freedom to go anywhere that is contrast to the boy inside.
5. NON-DOMINANT CULTURAL COMMUNICATION The artist is actually a Malay. The mural art communicated with the society with a culture that is not familiar with the artist.
3. FIRST IMPRESSION The atmosphere is laid back. The boy seems lonely as he is only one there. The surrounding symbolizes the olden days with the traditional appearance of the house.
1. SUBJECTIVE PERCEPTION Red Door - Closed tightly to portray that the security of the back lane is not safe.
Hopscotch - Surrounded by lava to represent that the back lane culture is slowly drowned by modern technology and the unsafe society. The back lane culture should be protected by the public.
