Sumay Cheah is a multidisciplinary artist whose immersive installations weave sensory nuance, spatial harmony and emotional resonance. Recognised for creating environments where light, texture, and sound converge into spaces of calm and reconnection, her works invite audiences to pause, breathe, and find healing in stillness.
Her installation OH! Tenang (2023) won the SG Mark Award 2024 and the Golden Pin Design Award for its mindful, culture-driven immersive art. Other key works include OH! Together–Gather in the Kalendar (2025) and OH! Budaya (2022), created with children and differently-abled communities to foster play, connection, and inclusivity.
Sumay’s practice embraces collaboration with differently-abled communities to spark dialogue, foster exchange, and refine each experience with empathy, something Malaysia needs more of. Rooted in accessibility and empathy, her art serves as a gentle bridge to well-being, belonging, and visibility.
At Thomson Health, we believe changes can come in gentle but sure tidal waves, just like Sumay's art. Thomson Health is an avid supporter of those who look into improving the health of the community in their own way, just like we do through our health supplements.
