Zelin Seah 谢泽琳 (b. 1980) is a visual artist and educator based in Ampang, Malaysia. His practice brings together drawing, mapping, installation and hands-on material interventions that move between sculptural and craft-based processes.
His current work centres on the relationships between materials, space and the often-invisible systems that shape everyday life. Through field research, material experimentation and site-responsive practice, Seah draws connections between everyday experiences and wider ecological, economic and social structures, with particular attention to land and its transformations.
An approach of making and unmaking runs through his practice, where precision and destruction coexist through the embodied labour of manipulating and transforming materials and documents.
Alongside his material investigations, Seah develops participatory projects that engage with local narratives, collective memory and the ways communities perceive and inhabit their environments.
