Over the past year, we have been living in a period of both physical and mental illness. The outbreak continues to persist and it is not known when it will end. I had to sell my restaurant so I could support my art practice in a country where art is gradually getting weaker. It is sad. Even so, I still have moments where my works get to be displayed, which gives life to my art.

Currently, I am preparing for the art festival Kenduri Seni Nusantara. It was supposed to be held last year but we faced problems because of the pandemic. However, I am sure it will happen this year, in August. Please keep us in mind.
