Niskala as a beauty representation of recycled wood installation / Naura Husna Hanani H., Najwa Husna Hanani H. and Desy Nurcahyanti

An installation artwork titled “Niskala” comes from Sanskrit which means sturdy and strong by displaying the figure of an Octopus visualized in the form of a wooden installation on the ground. This is a challenge in itself to create an installation artwork that has aesthetic value. The method of creating artwork consists of the following 4 stages: conception of artwork, development of ideas, making artwork, and development of ideas, and completing the artwork. Starting from a childhood interest in the character “Ursula” with the visual of an Octopus in the underwater fairy tale fantasy titled “The Little Mermaid”. The Octopus has legs attached to the head, in the form of eight tentacles with convex circles without bones. Its movements look beautiful, parachuting adds to the aesthetic value of the Octopus' color. Exploration of the shape and material that will be used is an important point. Imagining the shape of the work is poured out by making a sketch. The creation of the work refers to the approved design.
