First
artwork an installation “Dedek Kecil”, was about a little children which watched his tab and shot by metal. It represented children condition nowadays which does not aware with their environment. They are just having fun with their own gadget without enjoying playing time with their friends. The interaction is not based on human to human but human to machine.

Then, an idea is about Jogja’s contour which is not comfortable again as
a town. Jogja is moving to an urban place where people run with modernism and
hedonism. Hotel and resort is build anywhere without thinking environmental
problems is getting more and more day by day. Yes it might helps government to
feed the people and reduce unemployment. However, the environment is far important
than only talk about profit and money.

Later, A Tree Intallation which told about Jogja nowadays
which far away from children playing ground. Trees in Jogja is getting rare and
rare since there are many new buildings build to fulfill human’s capital
needed.

The
last artwork is titled Yang Tak Terlewat (The Unmissed). It is made to respond
the cultural context in every single building human made in this world. As the
example, when people build their house, there always be an offering as the
ritual for the house itself. Javanese people will make tumpengan or selametan
to gratitude and asking for permission to the unseen world as if they believe
that live in this world is not only consists of human only. There are another
dimensions live together with us. So far in this modern era people are still
continuing the ritual since they keep believe with their ancestor’s words.
Fengshui, Chinese special calculation is also still being used to spot the best building positions because believe that it brings luck. These examples shows that there
is connection between building and culture which stand together forming a unity.
