“MEREKA” UNTUNG, RAKYATNYA BUNTUNG
The poster, titled "Mereka Untung, Rakyatnya Buntung" ("They Profit, the People Suffer"), explores the issue of injustice through an allegorical composition featuring a pig as a leader who hides behind self serving regulations and armed rats representing legislative figures who enforce obedience through fear and intimidation. The progressively blunter sharp lines symbolize a legal system that is harsh toward ordinary citizens yet increasingly ineffective against those in positions of power, emphasizing the imbalance of justice across social hierarchies. A dominant palette of red, black, and muted off white reinforces the narrative by conveying brutality, oppression, and the gradual disappearance of truth and integrity.
AWAS “MASA LALU” DATANG LAGI
The poster titled "Awas Masa Lalu Datang Lagi" reflects on the lingering shadows of history and serves as a warning that forgotten lessons may quietly resurface when society becomes indifferent. A smiling pig accompanied by armed rats functions as an allegory for authority that exploits fear, controls public narratives, and establishes rules that benefit only a privileged few while silencing the voices of ordinary people.
The dominant use of red evokes danger, tension, and urgency, while black reinforces the atmosphere of oppression, reminding viewers that history rarely repeats itself in the exact same form but often returns through familiar patterns of unchecked power and normalized injustice.
