Built from Nothing, Shaped by Everything Growing up with only a few toys, Reen learned to build his own from scraps and found objects. Those quiet afternoons, guided by imagination and whatever he could gather, became his earliest lessons in storytelling and character-making. What began as a way to fill the silence shaped an artist who would later build entire worlds from memory, emotion, and the truths written across a face. From these early experiments emerged a figure once overlooked in a corporate setting but impossible to ignore in his personal work. Ohlala's expressive eyes and canvas-covered head became his way of telling stories without words, embodying the childhood instincts that taught him to invent rather than wait. It was the moment his creations began to take on lives of their own. These narratives soon found their way into galleries, reaching audiences across Asia, the United States, and Europe through solo shows, group exhibitions, and major art fairs. Each piece carried fragments of his life, resonating beyond borders and proving that stories rooted in personal truth can speak to anyone. Yet Reen has never been one to stay still, always searching for the next form, the next story, the next breakthrough. His work continues to evolve, shaped not only by where he began, but by the courage to keep moving toward what has yet to be created. Our Daily Dread, A Canvas You Can Hold Our Daily Dread edition features Reen's artwork Double Sided Fate, first showcased in Hong Kong and rooted in one of his earliest gallery exhibitions. The tuck box uses a full wraparound layout, allowing the piece to unfold across every side while featuring a subtle dimpled texture that echoes the canvas surface of Reen's original works. Inspired by the show's themes of confronting the unknown and the quiet anxieties built into everyday life, the box becomes more than packaging, it becomes a physical extension of the narratives explored in the exhibition. The card back continues this idea through an original artwork built using the signature palette of the Ohlala universe. Multiple expressive eyes fill the composition, echoing the element Reen considers the most honest part of the human face and a reminder of how we perceive, anticipate, and react to the world around us. Together, the box and back design create a visual language that feels unmistakably his, a blend of emotion, identity, and the stories written in every gaze.
