This piece is also an attempt to improve the method that I used in ‘’Modulasi Rasa’’. I tried using more figurative forms in this piece as a visual exploration to make a more cohesive narrative. The inspiration for this piece is the daily things I saw in my life. The things that make me feel at ease. There is no heavy topic in this piece as I treat it like a diary, where I document what I feel or experienced and as a form of distraction to keep bad thoughts in check. Hence why I drew with soft colors with oil pastel, a medium that by itself has an opaque quality, but we can rub them to produce a softer air-brushed finish. Just like how I ‘’rub’’ away those bad thoughts to leave the good ones behind.
