Trapped

In life's journey, everyone encounters obstacles, sometimes finding themselves in situations where escape seems nearly impossible. The artwork titled “Terjebak” depicts such a challenging moment—being stuck in a place or condition. Set in a dark and cold swamp surrounded by dense leaves, the atmosphere conveys discomfort and entrapment. However, strong determination is symbolized by the wooden horse and the Punakawan figures, who serve as a support system, each playing a role in helping the main figure escape the difficult situation. Semar, known as a wise elder, represents guidance toward goodness. Petruk, depicted shooting a sunflower arrow from Klono's head, symbolizes the idea of maintaining hope for a brighter future. Meanwhile, Bagong and Gareng, carrying lanterns, signify efforts to find a way out and the importance of cautious decision-making in every step.
