Nhawfal Juma’at is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans drawing, text, sound, and spatial expression. He holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of the Arts Singapore and was awarded the NAC–UAS Arts Scholarship in 2024. Drawing from phenomenology, Islamic hermeneutics, and post-structuralist thought, his work examines how meaning is formed, unsettled, and experienced through material, space, and the body. Alongside his artistic pursuits, Nhawfal teaches studio-based modules as an adjunct lecturer in painting, drawing, ceramics and sculpture at NAFA.

Chiaro Al-Aletheia: The Gathering is an installation artwork composed of white cotton twines and stainless-steel anchors, forming a Tri-Axial diagram that visualises the artist’s concept of relational orientation. The work explores ontological plurality, where the self is dispersed across relationships, temporality, and generational continuity. At its core is a tri-axial framework: a horizontal axis (I, M, N) and a vertical axis (Father, Self, Son). The horizontal axis traces the Being’s internal movement as it adjusts to the world, while the vertical axis represents temporal inheritance through lineage. Beyond philosophical reflection, this framework is also informed by the artist’s personal journey as he moves between the roles of self, son, and father. No longer confined to theory, the artwork honours inheritance while seeking wholeness—a glimpse of relation that remains incomplete and perpetually entangled in the process of becoming.
