In 2011, Rendang was number 1 in CNN’s World’s Best Foods. The dish Rendang represents Indonesia globally.
From my background, have a Sundanese family, and the drink Cendol was to represent my family, personally. Cendol is from Jawa Barat.
In this modern day era, the traditional dishes are starting to be replaced by fast food, coffees, etc. The message is to cultivate the traditional culinary culture.
The Young and Disillusioned is a surrealist digital artwork about the horrors of modern combat.
In a time where soldiers are usually glorified as cold-blooded emotionless war machines in movies and media, the main theme of the artwork is to show how fragile and scared the mind of a soldier can truly be. Especially a young soldier who has become disillusioned with the purpose of the war.
The TV-static visualized as the inside of the soldier’s mind represents a state of numbness, caused by the trauma and experience he has endured from the war. His thoughts represent his rationalization process of the war.
The artwork takes inspiration from real-life modern conflicts, modern war media and the surrealist painting The Double Secret by Rene Magritte, which also has a similar meaning, which is to figure out and analyze what is hidden under the human figure.
This is an artwork I made titled Freedom, we were tasked to create our own rendition of avant-garde artwork. Change, innovation, and technology plays a significant role in avant-garde. My artwork is a rendition of André Derain’s The Turning Road, L ‘Estaque (1906). I chose Fauvism ad the art movement of my artwork. This artwork represents what Fauvism means to me and my definition of Fauvism is that it’s all about colors. It’s like freedom to me because it allows me to have the freedom in choosing colors.
