as an idea in Printmaking art creation
By : Zhafirah Noer Adzimah
A visual exploration of high print graphic art about the journey of life and acceptance of destiny through the world of “Lumi”, the main character who struggles to find the true meaning of her fate through mediation with the figure of Soul in seven works.
Welcome to the world of “Lumi” where destiny is inscribed through woodcut strokes with hues of color on the journey of the soul that is painted real “Lumi” becomes a figure who appears in the shadows of the body’s confusion, he is trapped at the bottom of the abyss of life that swirls without end. Sharp-edged lines, colors trapped in contrast, and the mirrored slit of her restless heart trapped in a field of frustration without direction.
However, the light of hope begins to peek through and shine on the soul trapped in every emotion that is petrified in the never-ending search for meaning. The mirror begins to rumble in its reflection accompanied by rebellion, until the inner journey begins. Visualized in seven graphic artworks, printed through clichés and strokes of color. Her story is poured into a vessel of hopeful meaning, until she finds the light in her darkness.
Lumi who is now a person who continues to ask questions at the end of the horizon, looking for answers in the characters created in every breath she takes. The question that hangs, slowly begins to release the rope of answers that are confined to her neck. Until, it has reached the end of peace that begins to greet fate in the acceptance of the day whose door slits are slowly opening.
Images of nature, symbols of freedom, and the colors of life adorned every corner of the exhibition. Lumi, who has made peace with her fate, finds beauty in every twist of life. Through this exhibition of seven high print graphic artworks, it leads to a space of reflection. In every step and phase we are reminded that acceptance is the key in every wound of life. Accepting each phase has its own beauty and challenges in the reflection of acceptance.
Thank you for appreciating and diving into Lumi’s life journey. May this story, give true inspiration in facing fate, and learn to accept that every journey is a precious gift.
