This work is a reflection of my childhood spent in the village. Buffaloes are a means of mekepung (racing buffalo) and are also used to help plough the fields, which is a symbol of strength and hard work. The starlings that we often see perched on the backs of buffaloes are a representation of freedom of the imagination.~ Made Duatmika
