Hantu 2.0
Reimagining of Malaysian Folklore In this playful and heartfelt series, traditional Malaysian ghosts are reborn in charming, approachable forms — no longer the stuff of nightmares, but companions of curiosity and warmth. These creatures, often feared and shrouded in taboo, are reinterpreted through a cute and whimsical design lens to shift the narrative: from horror to harmony. Each character represents a familiar spirit from local lore, now illustrated with soft shapes, endearing expressions, and a hint of mischief — reminding us that not all ghosts come to haunt. In my world, they are misunderstood souls with stories to tell, protectors of forgotten places, or quiet helpers watching over us in their own peculiar ways. This work is a gentle rebellion against fear-based folklore, inviting viewers to see ghosts not as threats, but as echoes of culture, memory, and emotion — approachable, even lovable. It’s time we made peace with our past, one ghost at a time.
