WITHERED FLOWERS

Withered Flowers: a design work by Sarah Al Hanifah

Central Jakarta, 01 August 2023

Withered flowers symbolize a naive life, denying the truth and living in human lies. Flowers are for love, but wilted flowers are for people who live with naivety. A face with a mirror is a necessity in one's life. That is the price you have to pay by living as a natural human being. Hurting someone and being hurt, it is your hands that are covered in the most blood.

All humans are good, all humans are obedient, all humans are loyal, isn't it ironic to think that in a world full of manipulators? Think happiness is just a simple laugh without feedback. Then, continue to deny the truth whose light is bright.

Hey, are you okay? If you continue to survive in the circle of "they are good, they are loyal". Humans live with two minds, personal thoughts and other people's thoughts, then logic and the heart tug at each other to determine which mind will be used. Hasn't the statement "a person will understand if he feels" ever crossed people's minds? In fact, people still won't understand even if they feel it if the way they think follows other people's thoughts. How innocent, right?

Withered flowers represent my feelings of almost dying, represent my feelings towards life. Good people, obedient people, pray to their god for a good life. I don't pray. Please, please, good people and devout people to entrust my prayers.

"Hopefully I, you and we will become better people."
