The event, sponsored by G4S, Sheraton Utama Hotel and Sunlit Advertising, the exhibits depicts exceptional images in painting and in abstract of the trials and tribulations of life seen through the eyes of these young talented students.

Some of their works may be personal to them; some may not and be just pretty pictures or creations that they have conjured up in their creative minds.

These talented young minds are Nur Khalisah Ahmad, Mark Chong, Adam Hanif, Nur 'Ayeshah Ahmad, Siti Raudhah Abidin and Muhammad Isa Dennis.

Called "Bittersweet; as days go by...." the artwork is about how to express or how to relieve themselves from the feelings that they bear.

Mr Nathan Ambrose, Country Manager of the security firm said not only is the teenagers given the chance to express themselves in art but also through sports in Brunei.

He further added that the exhibition is an opportunity for teenagers to develop their individual emotions and social responsibilities.
