He is also the brains behind Atap Alis Community and actively contribute in the Research and Development Division of Ruang Rupa until now.
At Framer Framed his work has been on show as part of Pressing Matters (2018) a group exhibition featuring 24 artists from Indonesia, brought together by artist Kevin van Braak. The text on his work on the Pentagonal Icositetrahedron reads Kendaraan Murah Macet Semakin Parah (‘Cheap Vehicles, Traffic Getting Worse’), a statement applicable to a lot of big cities in Indonesia. The relatively low prizing of vehicles has caused cities to be invaded by cars, motorbikes and other motorised traffic. The lack of government control leads to several urban problems including traffic congestion, pollution, and consumerism. The figure of the boy represents the current generation, who suffer from these issues on a daily basis.
