BAHASA

National songs are strange to the people of Indonesia. In addition to the swift flow of western music coming in, the worn image attached to national songs. Whereas in its era, the national songs has a function to increasing nationality spirit and fighting spirit for Indonesian independence. Start from that issue, I try to find the meaning behind the national song with titled “Dari Sabang Sampai Merauke” and then visualized it to mural painting, in my opinion this songs have a symbol of unity in diversity.

This artwork focused on value of unity, according to the meaning of song who created by R. Soerardjo. As we know, Indonesia rich in cultural, include language “bahasa”. This artwork have a point of unifying of various kinds of richness. The context of this artwork is “Bahasa Indonesia” as a catalyst. Like the lyric of this song use Bahasa Indonesia. The content of this artwork are various of color as a representation of richness.

Save For The Future

The Phrase of “The Elephants died leave its ivory” can not be proved. The truth in the field says the elephants died leave no its ivory. One of the biggest threats for Elephant in the world is the poachers. In Indonesia the biggest threats other than poachers are lands constriction to palm plantations, opening of the roads, real estate and industry sector.

This artwork tells about a problems who experienced by a young people in Indonesia. Yes, left behind married by their ex-lover. Some people have been experienced it. Many are has still single status with no have girlfriend or boyfriend experienced it this problems, where their ex-lover have married.

Hopefully this artwork inspires.

Marijuana has become a very sensitive issued in Indonesia. This mural tells about 
understanding of marijuana with different ways, that is aesthetic approach with a visual symbol. Why we must know about this plant? Because this plant have a myriad of benefits. Recorded about history of this plant, marijuana has given a latin name “Sativa” certainly have a strong reasons. Sativa means a plant that has a role for creating a civilization in the past, as well as rice and other plants that have the latin name “Sativa”.

Ganja Devisa Negara (The Value of Cannabis)

The long journey of legalizing marijuana occurring overseas needs to be our concern. Now, in Europe, Asia and America are competing to manage marijuana and sell it globally. The real examples are Canada and Netherlands, they have exported marijuana to Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Brazil, and so forth. China has too, they traded processed fibers of cannabis to all over of the globe. Canada earned xxx rupiah, The Netherlands earned xxx rupiah. China knows how many results, in fact they become the country with the strongest economy today. Indonesia should be must! we are one of the largest cannabis-producing countries in the world. Given the fertile and vastness of our homeland. Thousands of tons of marijuana burned, when he can provide foreign exchange for the country. Stop being redundant! Let's take our natural results.*Thanks to Mosa, Tasya and Imam who execute the mural

Impotence

This mural made to nudge the young workers who did not realize how important to create something. I hear a lot of  stories from my friends that already working but not satisfied. Actually, the ideal job is a related to skills and passions from each individuals. I think that lived in Jakarta which is a harsh city, you must have “oxygen tube”. The oxygen tube that I meant is to make a creation who related with your skill and passion. Because in my opinion this is a refreshing moment to re-spirited for you to do your daily boring jobs.

The visual that I made is a white donkey. Donkey is the symbolic of surrender, colonized, too obedient and exploited, can also means with general term is stupid. The white color symbolic of sperm, sperm that we know is the beginning of life (potential). Overall this mural tells about a potential who didn't channeled, so a young people who did not have creation is a barren (impotence).

Who Am I?

This is my year-end personal project in 2017, that i created to facing a new year of 2018. I created with wheat paste/paste up technique for this artwork in some of street in Jakarta.
