Sound is always present, enveloping our nature and life; sound exists and accompanies every event that occurs. Through perception, the author understands that sound is an object with its own presence that can be evaluated based on perception. The "Manifestation of Arrangements" series presents nine works that are the author's exploration of sound forms. The author uses that title, which is then interpreted as an effort to realize the author's perspective on the form of sound by borrowing and adjusting the compositional structure of the sounds heard. The author achieves this by capturing and taking the structure of the sounds heard through perception and then rearranging them into a visual structure in the work. With sound as the inspiration for its creation, the author wants to capture their personal perception and manifest it as an abstract visual structure. The art theory underlying this series of works is art as form or formalism. Then the theory of perception and synesthesia will support the creation of this work. Wassily Kandinsky, Oesman Effendi, and Joan Mitchell are artists whose visuals, ideas, and concepts the author studies as references in this series "Manifestation of Arrangements." The media I used are acrylic ink and greyboard as the surface for the artwork. The method used emphasizes the gestural aspect, the author creates visual layering on the drawing surface with a multi-panel format spread out on the floor. Through this method, the author can present intense visuals through the layering of various stacking and line pulls. The author wants to present visuals that can guide the audience's eyes to feel the depth and follow the movement while immersing themselves in the work. Each work presents different visual configurations, yet remains within the same concept. This work becomes a form of exploration for the author, about how everything captured through the senses can be perceived and interpreted in very different ways. This experience also opens a new perspective on the presence of unseen natural elements and ways to understand them.
