Demang Mantera Series 3 Print - Limited Edition of 1

In this modern era civilization ; people are often driven by science and technology and no longer observe superstitious rituals. Moreover, as Muslim, such rituals will lead us astray towards the path of sacrilege that is contradictory to syariat. With this in mind ,I focuses on these traditional mystical rituals, or widely known as supernatural or witchcraft that still persist among Malay community. In my artwork, i positions the keris as the main medium for highlighting the message and some human figurative for supporting my message in my artwork. In Malay customs, the keris plays a pivotal role, be it in the upper or lower class of society. Nonetheless, the perspective intended to be highlighted here is the exploitation of these otherwise beautifully crafted weaponry in deviating people towards the desecration of their faith. My expressions in this artistic series are manifested through the usage of ritualistic elements, crafted by applying woodcut technique on paper. Such works describe Malay Muslim community’s bigotry in their reliance on witch doctors or shamans and their occult practices, although it is widely known that these sacrilegious beliefs contradict with the true teachings of Islam itself. Perhaps by gazing upon my artworks, we shall begin to be more conscious of our role as people of faith and never to be swayed in our belief in the Oneness Allah
