| Nadhir Nor (He/Him) is an independent illustrator based in Kuala Lumpur. From mythology to human intimacy, his work aims to shine on the intricate thread between the otherworldly and the modern world. Letting fantastical world-building take center stage, Nadhir's subjects are allowed to find safe space in existing while also hiding between what's fiction and imaginary. | |
