#FestivalHighlight. Nothing but Us by the Interior Architecture students of the Malaysian Institute of Arts (MIA) is a visual arts installation commissioned for YSDAF 2025.

Nothing but Us is a reminder that we are not alone.
A mirrored surface sparks a visitor’s curiosity. They are invited to place a simple round sticker. As more marks appear, the surface transforms into a silent, growing archive of connection.

A raised platform and viewing portal—a symbolic “beam of hope”—draw visitors deeper into the space, offering a moment of pause and introspection. Set by the lake, the installation invites reflection not just of the self, but of community—asking: in our nothingness, what do we share?

Nothing but Us invites curiosity, contemplation, and contribution. It is not just something to be seen, but something to be part of.
