I Can't Sleep #2
128 x 150 - Ballpoint & WoP - 2014
Exhibited in OMG? RED! ^ D^
During her time in ITB, Nina was conjured by Meliantha as a way to realize the subconscious (alter ego) in surrealism which had stood as a subjective method of expression, specifically through a modified version of Paranoid Critical Transformation of Salvador Dalí’s in stimulating visual idea and René Magritte’s method for the application. This resulted in a childlike vulnerability that is concealed as the artist grew up, along with the inquisitiveness that might invade others’ privacy. The absence of mouth was intentionally to keep the emotion open to interpretation.
Following I Can’t Sleep #1 which revolves around neuroticism, #2 plays the motionless Nina with the many moving parts in circular motion, so that both the audience and her observes the planetary, ecological and artificial rotation around her, in the searching feeling of what’s more and beyond.

Love Twinkle, a vulnerable piece by Angiring Surya tells how despite dating back to the existence of humanity, love could be seen as the most relevant universal feeling in the modern age. That “To love, be loved and not feel unlovable is intrinsic”.
The exhausted but focused figure also tells how someone might not be alike from some’s perspective, yet unintentionally to others seen with the twinkle of love.

Translates directly to Frantic, this work is of how during mental pressure & losing perspective during, a person can lose his bearing in activities, thoughts and behavior. Bangun evokes someone who has as many visions as indecisiveness, silence with a false smile, until the unexpressed thoughts oozes through the cracks.
