A wallower blends in with its surrounding, invisible to most. Observing thechanges that take place around it but never takes part. Once deciphered,however, the wallower has more than meets the eye.

Metaphorically, The Government Rest House is much like a wallower and this photobookdocuments a day in its life. This photobook is also a journal to document all the measured

drawing activities that took place in the rest house during our stay in Batu Gajah.
