Please describe the concept of your artwork in 2000 words.
The Hayat tree is also known as the Kalpataru tree. Kalpataru comes from the root word 'kalp' which means 'want or 'wish', a tree that can grant all desires of humans who worship it. Kalpataru comes from the word 'kalpa' which means 'world age', a very long period, i.e. the period between creation and the error of the world, and, 'taru' which means 'tree'. The problem of the Kalpataru tree in general is well known, both through Old Javanese manuscripts, namely the Kakawin Ramayana Book, Negarakertagama Book, and Kuncarakarna Dharmakathana, as well as from sources in the form of inscriptions, namely the Yupa Inscription in East Kalimantan, the Puhsarang Inscription, the Long Grave and the Timang Inscription. Other sources that describe the picture of the Kalpataru tree are also found in temple reliefs, for example at Prambanan Temple, Plaosan Temple, Mendut Temple, Pawon Temple, Borobudur Temple, Jago Temple and the Islamic Cemetery of Sendang Dhuwur.
The tree of life that stores many structures and ecosystem systems that naturally continuously creates new hegemony over the natural order that is often changed and changed by humans. -

Please describe how your work relates to the theme of the special prize.
My works is examination of the different forms this destructive nature, nd the thinking that lies behind it. I use domestic objects as the common deominators of our personal environment. Altering them is a way of quationing the attitudes, fears, and unwritten rules which have formed that environment and our behavior within it. I put the extra alue of local culture in each arworks as a cultural mission.
