Su Embroidery by Adrian Gan collection
'Su embroidery started in the country of Wu (now the Suzhou area). What started from embroidering fabrics
to decorate garments became a new form of art. The craftsmanship was so fine that it is said
the needles of the embroiderers was as thin as hair, threads were split into 10,
and the best works could beat the beauty of paintings.'

Kingfisher Jewellery by Adrian Gan collection
'Kingfisher is a type of bird known for its beautiful vibrant blue feathers. Their feathers were often
used to create beautiful pieces of jewellery by decorating pieces of plain metal, with the earliest record
of them being found in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 9 AD). When seen from afar the blue of the
jewellery looks like stones or as if it has been painted on, but when one takes a closer look,
they can see the beautiful textures the feathers create.'

helmet in the creative mind
left-middle : Over Protected by Lugas Syllabus [zulu helmet]
"a helmet is a protection symbol that is essential for safety, particularly
on the road and in many activities. Protection is needed in our life,
but overprotection will limit our creativity.
This artwork is parody of overprotection that is symbolized with
an umbrella put on the top of a helmet."

left-bottom : Nieuws Jongen by Maharani Mancanagara [skateboard]
"the period of 1744 to 1854 is known as the white round for the history of
Indonesian newspapers belonged to the Europeans, which were published
in Dutch for the Dutch readers. The distribution was not merely
done through display windows but also distributed by paperboys.
In a nation preserving its tradition, the distribution method has been
well maintained and well sustained, causing target to shift into another function."

Exploitation of Fish by Anggar Prasetyo
"Laut adalah pusat keaneka ragaman hayati di bumi. Warga dunia ini
memiliki kewajiban ekosistem ini. Oleh karena itu ancaman keserakahan
manusia atas laut harus dihindari. Sehingga laut tidak berubah
menjadi hitam, terkotak-kotak, dan spesiesnya tinggal kenangan."

Repacking by Gatot Indrajati [2011]
"Modernisasi dan globalisasi tidak boleh menghancurkan tradisionalisme yang
telah
 mengakar di bumi Indonesia. Lukisan ini merupakan ajakan untuk
mengemas ulang
 seni tradisi sesuai zaman modern, dengan substansi nilai
yang tidak berubah."
