Frying Tahu
views of spirituality through illustration works from to poles

An art project involving 12 illustrators from Indonesia and Italy. (2013)

The project was exhibited in both countries, and here are some lines about the concept:

Frying Tahu (“tahu” means “bean curd” in Indonesian, but can also means “to know”) is an exploration that aims to have a self confrontation by bringing with us our respective backgrounds, towards the diversity of some concepts of life. Through them, the way we perceive and conduct our lifestyle are based on; those are: Spirituality and Assumption/Supposition.

The Interpretation of spirituality in this project is not only through the concept of something transcendent, immanent or anything that connect into a religious idea, but also through views that rotate around materialism, atheism, and other common ideologies that perceive a universal spiritual system as being dogmatic.

Trivistha
Life Cycle

Mural made as a response to the exhibiting artists and exhibition space. (2010)

The Trivistha group project consisted of:

Febrianto Pudi Utama (mural)
Prisanti Myristica (papercutting)
Pritha Fitria Natasha Bekti (plush sculpture)

The exhibition statement was as follows,

“Pure Essence flowing in the form of intentions which are projected inside reason and knowledge, are wrapped in everyday behavior. It is the result of many sublime processes, but often are not captured by the senses. Thus, inside every individual a uniqueness is hidden, inevitably, different way of seeing and rhythms of the body are also affected in translating that Pure Essence. The very existence of individuals are fused interacting with one another, a cycle, which is blown into three-poles.”
