Meet The Woman Who Turns Nostalgia Into Miniatures
- 4 years ago
While some people may take pictures and others write diaries, Lim Pui Wan, aka Picoworm, chooses to preserve life’s sentimental moments through miniatures. She’s been perfecting the art for the last 10 years, but her journey has been anything but smooth.
Among five siblings, Lim was the only one to receive a full scholarship to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. Her family was not willing to see Lim give it up for a strange job. Since graduating in 2016, the 24-year-old has been dedicating all her time to tell stories and evoke a sense of nostalgia through her work. Lim hopes to hold a full exhibition one day to show the world her love for miniatures.
