Description
Summary:In this final project, the author reflects on significant changes in her life through the experience of motorcycle modification. This change, known as customization or personalization culture, not only brings personal satisfaction but also raises questions about the true purpose—whether the modifications are for self-fulfillment or to gain validation from society. For the author, the motorcycle is not just a means of transportation, but a medium for self-expression. In this process, the author experiences a dilemma between being true to herself and the need to be accepted by society, especially in the context of the male-dominated motorcycle world, while the author is a woman. The painting titled "Tunggangan Warna" becomes a manifestation of the author's journey in finding her true self, where the motorcycle is interpreted as a symbol of constant self-transformation in order to be accepted by society. Keywords: Personalization, motorcycle, color, identity
