Taking inspiration from the community in rural Java, Rudy used densely layered strokes to convey a depiction of a busy communal life of people. This piece depicts how people adapt to modern technology and culture even though they still use traditional transportation like trishaw and bicycle. However, a woman is seen daringly wearing a red tank top walking across causing a stir among the people nearby showing that she too adapted to the modern culture.
