“Inspired by the visual language prevalent within the cultures of comics and underground music, the works of Farizwan Fajari aka Speak Cryptic (b. 1980) explore issues pertaining to the human condition. Utilising a cost of characters he has developed over the years, he uses them to express different narratives inspired by his observations on current affairs and his immediate environment.” (taken from a label of his Crossing Shores)
