"JapaNMenyala" focuses on the fascinating theme of "link."
This work is centered on weaving the story of the Garuda, the bird-shaped symbol that is the pride of Indonesia. The Garuda is a mythical bird that has been cherished by the Indonesian people. This illumination (Menyala in Indonesian) signifies a touching reunion that bridges and unites 11 years of friendship.
The combination of "JapaN" and "Menyala" has a profound meaning that embodies our 11-year journey of friendship; the word "NM," combining the "N" of JapaN and the "M" of Menyala, represents our SembilaNMatahari. This fusion of "NM" expresses this story beautifully.

The concept was inspired by the theme of the event, "LINK".
From this theme, we envisioned a life game in which life and death are observed.
When we look at the world from a bird's eye view these days, we sometimes feel as if we are being manipulated by someone.
Is there a connection, or was there already a connection?
This work aims to be an expression that asks that question to the audience.

Everything is connected. Even the simple flap of a butterfly's wings can have significant consequences.
This project explores how this butterfly affects buildings and sets off a chain reaction that evolves building facades, taking us through time and into different environments.

The work mixes two themes, "LINK" (2023) and "CROSS" (2015).
An ancient mythological symbol comes to our mind. It is "OUROBOROS".It is a snake that eats its tail and can be seen as a kind of link. It forms an eternal cycle, signifying rebirth, infinity, and endless connections. The snake is also a symbol of cross-cultural worship that has appeared in different parts of the world since ancient mankind. It is linked to the world, nature, death and life. All of these cross-cultural understandings are tied to one unifying concept: how man should connect himself to the world.

Long ago, life from outer space came to Earth. Sharing common roots, life has evolved. The new life forms that surround us have much in common and are linked by an invisible network. Through this link we communicate and exchange information and life energy.

We can talk about deconstructivist architecture when borders, positions and geometric rules are no longer respected in favor of freer forms and structures.
The last cultural current of the 20th century looks beyond things as they are, not destroying, but dismantling simplifications of reality.
The aim of the architects who adhered to this movement was to try to break down the integrity and stability of a building in order to achieve increasingly independent, exasperatingly cracked, distorted, off-center and asymmetrical forms.
By shaping objects and twisting and bending materials and structures, the project intends to repeat on the facade the same process of decomposition carried out on deconstructivist architectures in order to represent a space in evolution that fights illusorily against its own architectural boundaries.
Deconstruction is not just the technique or a disturbed construction, since it conceives the idea of construction.

This work is based on the flowers that bloom around us.
Flowers and plants receive diverse energies from the earth and atmosphere to grow, bloom, and leave seeds.
There is a connection with everything behind the beauty of flowers environment. This invisible energy magically causes flowers to bloom, delighting our eyes and providing us strength and hope.

I continue the series of my works dedicated to the transformation of the world.
Japan's support for Ukraine as one of the symbols of close ties for which distance and cultural differences do not matter. Kindness knows no bounds. I want to dedicate this project to the Japanese citizen Fuminori Tsuchiko, as well as to all those who did not remain indifferent to the huge tragedy of the whole country.
Fuminori moved to Ukraine from Tokyo to the city of Kharkiv after the start of a full-scale war to help people. He hid from shelling in the Kharkiv metro along with hundreds of Ukrainians. He opened FuMi Caffe, which gives away free food every day. Sponsors are also citizens of Japan whose names are written on the wall of the cafe.
Fuminori was awarded by Presidential bounty «National Legend of Ukraine».
Only all together we can change this world.

Happy? Happy! is an answer of the worlds understatement, a fundamental emotion of living beings that is sometimes forgotten. Happiness is an underestimated chain reaction of interactions; simple yet complex situations can serve as solutions. The impact of a restrained and hesitated voice becomes avant-garde, creating an explosion of joy. The show starts loudly, with a monochrome world representing the tiger's rage until its stop in between, it reflect itself, flame of its blame is irrelevant. It start to break through the negativity, it snapped 180 degrees, the tiger slowly getting happier, change its point of view. A parade start to popping out, celebrating the new journey, unwavered vision to influence and linking the emotion is a grand aspiration for the tiger. Along the way, there is always uncertainty, unpredictable path and party, but composing the suitable behaviour is a must and it might led to a new fun! Having the best blast of its life, the tiger jumping around here and there, inviting everyone to party and have fun, the beat gets faster, the crowd getting louder, despite of how chaotic it is, the positivity could not get any better.

The aim is to continue the discovery of what connects man and machine, the digital and the material. How the harmonization of opposites works through music on a specific object in space. All this in order to achieve the greatest impact on the audience, both musically and visually.
The artwork is based on simplicity, rhythm and the pulsating, dynamic, constantly changing harmony of primitive geometric forms.
The work does not depict or assert anything, it merely expresses the artist's inner world in such an abstract form that the viewer can immerse him/herself in for a short time and think about it further.
