home is where the heart is
MEN'S FOLIO Malaysia
|August 2023
A place, a person or a simple feeling? Jack Gohr, Zhen Ning and Aniq Suhair share childhood nostalgia and their definition of home.
The excitement of something new and the sentimental feeling of letting go' is how growing up feels like according to Aniq Suhair. Melancholic, isn't it? Childhood, a treasure trove of memories, may appear distant for some, yet it forever resides within us, waiting to resurface whenever we find solace in our most comfortable moments.
On set the luminous personalities of Jack Gohr, Zhen Ning, and Aniq Suhair converge, weaving their own tales of boyhood and their personal definition of home. "Home is not always a place for me, it is the people that make it" described Ning. "It is a sense of safety and familiarity. A dining table with my family, sharing food and laughter. That's home".
If there's one thing Aniq, Jack and Ning share in common, it is their sense of playfulness and being carefree that warms every space they're in. As the crew prepared for the shoot, we couldn't help but notice the trio's joyous fascination with the paragliders gracefully soaring through the skies above. In that moment, Ning's eyes gleamed with excitement as he said "Oh, I must join them!" And without skipping a beat, Jack chimed in, "Why not? We can do that right after the shoot." The two shared a knowing glance with a mischievous grin.
