Medium: Mixed Media and Digital, 2025
This mixed media digital piece reflects objects and memories from my childhood and cultural heritage as a Chinese-Indonesian. The Javanese headpiece symbolizes the deep-rooted cultural expectations instilled into my upbringing—an emblem of Indonesia’s traditional values, where marriage is seen as an inevitable rite of passage for girls. Music notes in the background represent how music has shaped me, while the Chinese Othello board reflects my dual identity, combining Javanese and Chinese influences. On the left, a cup of milk tea reminds me of my childhood favorite drink, with my mother's hand beside it, symbolizing our intellectual bonding over Chinese chess. My large, exaggerated lips signify my outspoken personality since childhood. Lastly, the art book on the right—a 7th birthday gift from my dad—is a treasured introduction to the art world, shaping my early appreciation for creativity.
you are what you eat
Medium: Acrylic, 59.4x42cm, 2023
This surrealist acrylic painting explores the irony of consumption culture through a retro-futurist lens, using bold, saturated hues reminiscent of mid-century pop art. The vibrant color palette—dominated by warm oranges, cool blues, and striking reds—creates an almost playful atmosphere that contrasts with the work’s darker commentary. At the center, a fish chef, prepares sushi, unaware of the cruel irony: a fish cutting another fish. This cyclical consumption reflects how we, too, become victims of the very goods capitalism sells us, devouring products that ultimately consume us in return. The exaggerated, cartoonish figures and nostalgic aesthetic evoke a sense of discomfort beneath the cheerful facade, highlighting how modern consumerism disguises exploitation as convenience. Through its retro-futuristic style and satirical composition, the artwork challenges viewers to question whether consumption truly serves us—or if we're simply feeding a system that eventually feeds on us.

Medium: Graphite and Mixed Media on Paper, 2025
This 3-series sketch collection explores the intersection of retro-futurism and the evolving relationship between humanity and technology. Inspired by mid-century sci-fi aesthetics and contemporary digital culture, each piece juxtaposes organic human forms with mechanical motifs and glitch-like patterns. The graphite figures, rendered with raw emotion, are intertwined with vibrant outlines and fragmented symbols, evoking the tension between vulnerability and innovation. The bold red, blue, and yellow overlays mimic warning signals and system errors, symbolizing how technological progress often disrupts rather than enhances the human experience. Repeated phrases like "System Error" and "Wanna Try?" emphasize society’s push toward relentless advancement, questioning whether this evolution truly serves humanity. This series invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of merging flesh with code, nostalgia with progress, and identity with innovation.
a study in pink
Medium: Digital, 2023
This hand-drawn digital animation reflects my experience as a sibling to an autistic sister, created over three months using intentionally squiggly lines to represent the unpredictability and complexity of neurodivergent experiences. The vibrant yet slightly muted color palette evokes a sleazy indie aesthetic, designed to resonate with younger audiences and create a sense of relatability. Through this visual style, I aimed to show others with autistic siblings that they are not alone in their journey. The animation reached 1.3K views on social media and was later adopted as the official promotional video for Pupa Center Jakarta, a special education school, further amplifying its message of understanding and solidarity.
apparel swap
Medium: Digital, 2024
Digitally designed a vibrant, eye-catching banner for an apparel swap event hosted by y(our)clothes, an NGO promoting sustainable fashion among younger audiences. The artwork balanced bold typography with eco-conscious visuals, reflecting the organization’s brand identity while appealing to a modern aesthetic. Beyond design, I coordinated with event partners and vendors to ensure the banner aligned with promotional needs and venue specifications. The banner’s impactful design not only set the tone for the event, but also caught the attention of local television news, leading to interviews that amplified the swap’s message of mindful consumption.
