Artist Statement
In this series, new technology is symbolized with New Machine, because the new era is always marked by new technology/ innovation. The artist visualized the new spirit that came from an innovation from something conventional to better, effective, modern things without leaving the local wisdom. In this stage of comprehension, modernity is actually something spiritual. Why? Because it free the human being from mind chaining, and by using the mind the life can be managed. Then culture is comprehended as cultivation, it refers to empowering the mind to manage the nature for a more civilized life.
