noun.
1.The fear of time or of the passage of time
I theorize that people are afraid of- or at least are wary of- the passage of time because with time comes age, and ultimately, death. They fear because they forget that with time comes not only ruin, but also healing and recovery. Time allows new life to grow just as it takes it away.
An exploration of time as a harbinger of life and death, and growth and decay, and its importance.

Artist Statement: This art piece is inspired by the artwork Where is Waldo. I want to convey the emotion of going crazy by searching the image which is different than the other images. This artwork has some humor to it since many people around the world uses the expression or say they are going crazy by saying the word nuts or bananas in it. Those two foods are described as an expression of going crazy to many people around the world.

The Illusion of Time talks about how time passes by quickly, though people tend to ignore this fact. The intended viewer of this piece are teenagers who, from personal experience, tend to live a life that does not concern the future. Sometimes these teens waste their time thinking that they will live forever. I want to remind teens how fast time travels and how little time they have in this world.

These ten images (Introspection 1 and Introspection 2) represent my past and my present. Five images are of my past; things I regret and feelings I’ve kept away. These images are meant to be viewed as fragments of memories, hence the third-person POV. The other five images represent the present, or the positive outcome I hope to achieve if I ever slip back into the past. The present includes activities I enjoy doing such as listening to music, being around my friends, and drawing.

This artwork is about racism in Indonesia, especially against the Chinese. This artwork is trying to communicate that even if we are different in race and heritage, we are still the same because we are all human. We are all pieces that fit together into one puzzle.

I was actually inspired by an artwork that my friend saw at an exhibition. The eggs represent us as human beings since eggs actually have a similar or common thing as humans. We are all fragile just like an egg. When an egg is hit or falls, they break easily. Humans are also like that, we feel broken and sad when there is a great fall happening in our lives. As humans, we don’t always show our real emotions, but when we get hurt by others or we feel sad, we then show our real emotions.

In this artwork I decided to show the relationship between ethnic Chinese Indonesians and Native Indonesians. I chose to show this community to represent the social issue of prejudice and racism. This piece is based on a personal experience I have had in the past as I am ethnically Chinese but Indonesian. I have been in this country my whole life but I have always felt so different and so stuck; I’ve never felt like I have blended in. I used the red color for the “Chinese” girl in the middle to emphasize the difference between her and the other subjects. The subjects surrounding her are in black, emphasizing how they make her feel almost trapped. I picked this color scheme on purpose to show the difference between the two groups of people.

Bhinneka Tunggal Ika; Unity in Diversity. As an Indonesian, this national motto was introduced to me from a young age. I was told about how there is strength in unity that when we collaborate, we can achieve more than when we work alone. Upon discovering the many issues that occur in the world today, I have learned that this motto can be applied in countless cases. For instance, in this artwork there are six portraits of women from six different countries that have their own distinct cultures. The six countries are Africa, North America, China, Indonesia, Scotland and Pakistan as shown by the traditional clothing and stereotyped features of each woman. The portraits are displayed in the interior of secluded circular space to symbolize the unification of the six different countries that are spread across the globe and the females' ceaseless struggle for global gender equality. Equality in this case is defined such that both males and females have equal rights in the areas of education, politics, economic and the society. With this, I challenge you all to unite and take action for this same cause.

I had always been interested in severed limbs, and this particular printmaking piece shows the disconnect I feel within myself and with God. I am usually a spiritual person, yet in that difficult time it felt like no one was listening and no one could help. My prayers went nowhere and truth be told, they were not coming from my heart either. I was slowly unravelling and hanging by a thread, the red yarn that held my hands together.

The question, “What Counts as Beauty?”, is not frequently asked by people. The idea of beauty for guys nowadays is probably a fit body with no facial imperfections. However, I would say that beauty can be found in various ways such as culture or the way people dress. This artwork is focused on how beauty can be found even in tribal areas in Indonesia. To be more specific, the Dani tribe in Indonesia dress in a way that, to me, shows beauty where most people do not find to be appealing.

The World of Consumerism is a piece that comments on how consumerism destroys the environment without even realizing it. The idea of this piece is focused towards the rich as they are the ones who affect the demand of consumer products. The artworks focus on takeaway food and electronics which are the two most common goods purchased by people. However, these two products are not necessarily known to be harmful to the environment. This artwork serves to open the viewers eye to the harmful effects of the things we buy.

Born out of my eagerness to spread love and hope to others, this project is inspired by inspirational artworks/messages that you might come across online. The twist to it is that these are in the form of a post-card, emphasizing the feeling of nostalgia. I created this in hope that others will be more supportive of one another and encourage each other through hard times.
