Harmony in Transition , 2024

In this artwork, I explore the fine line that exists between the past and the future, crafting a narrative that transcends time. The focal point is the Kain Batik, a traditional symbol, and an old woman seamlessly integrated into the vibrant atmosphere of a bustling market.
The story follows the elderly woman as she strives to keep up with the times by selling tempting desserts like creampuffs and Biscoff cakes, embracing modern trends. She adorns herself in the classic Kain Batik while conducting business, showcasing her commitment to tradition despite her openness to learning new things.
The narrative comes to life through a realistic and vibrant color scheme, capturing the essence of the elderly woman's journey as she balances her cultural history, symbolized by the Kain Batik, with the evolving tastes of society. "Harmony in Transition" perfectly encapsulates the delicate balance between honoring our rich cultural heritage and adapting to the modern world.
