| Summary: | "Experiencing Disharmony" is a Drawing series consisting of six works that bring
back awareness of the journey, namely the contradiction between the human and
natural environment, the understanding that humans are objects regulated by nature
as a subject, and the different perceptions regarding order and disorder which cause
disharmony in human relationship with nature. Art as representation, Romanticism,
Apollonian and Dystopian in art are the theories that base this work. The idea for this
work is also based on the theory of Gregory Bateson and the book "The Language of
Symmetry". Other than that, Caspar David Friedrich’s and Peter Doig’s visual
perspective and creative process are studied as a reference. The figures that appear in
the work act as a comparison to the proportions of the landscape which creates
distance and a perception of foreignness and disharmony. This Drawing serial piece
was created using soft pastels, hard pastels and charcoal as the dark color base.
When drawing on paper, I use the technique of overlapping lines without rubbing
with my fingers or hands. This technique and medium are the most suitable
representation in describing my limitations as a human when I climbed mountains
slowly–step by step. The use of paper is unfamiliar to the appreciator, which creates
distance from the perception of the medium. Each work is a depiction of a different
experience, but the memories form similar contemplations and awareness. Overall,
the experiences during these trips became a catalyst for self-awareness and my
position in the macro realm. In the end, this work made me aware that I must follow
how nature desires and regulates its own laws. This helplessness became my process
of learning and lowering my ego as a human. |
