Wayang Pacak is a social commentary themed painting. The title of wayang pacak is inspired by the situation in the old days where wayang stories were shown in the village and at the same time inserted talks and lectures to convey something to people. The ideas in this drawing are taken from the response to the issue of the opportunity or promise given to achieve the aspirations of some individuals. Various ways are also done to spread something in order to attract the surrounding community. The main image shows that the dish is a metaphor for the opportunities / promises served and the characters in this painting refer to the situation.
