The photographs depict Ritchie surrounded by a sea of sheet music, exuding inspiration as if he's in conversation with the notes themselves. The striking black-and-white photography beautifully captures the essence and strength of music, allowing us to connect with his artistic journey as he moves between Malaysia and Hong Kong.
