M Ozy Trianda
An artist from Bengkayang whose practice focuses on the creation of works centred on mental health narratives, drawing from both personal experience and the broader emotional realities of society. Beyond addressing themes of vulnerability and self-healing, Oozy integrates explorations of plant life as symbols of balance, resilience, and the interconnected relationship between humans and the natural environment.
Through a reflective and empathetic visual approach, Oozy’s works create spaces for dialogue around mental health, nature, and the interdependence of both within wider social contexts.
Title : Tempuan
Medium : Mix media
Size : 80x80x80cm
Year : 2025
Tempuan is a visual and emotional reflection on the tragedy of forest fires that have devastated millions of hectares of the world’s lungs, claimed lives, and threatened the survival of countless living beings. Forests are not merely collections of trees; they are the lifeblood of the planet, sources of oxygen, homes to biodiversity, and fragile supports of interconnected ecosystems. This work captures the grief of the moment when fire transforms lush greenery into ash, with charred tree trunks standing like gravestones, symbolising irreversible destruction. Depictions of endemic plants and animals of Kalimantan emphasise the beauty of a forest now under severe threat.
Tempuan invites contemplation: what remains after the flames have died down, and what if the fire had never ignited? How can life be restored to land reduced to barren wasteland? The work serves both as a warning of the irreparable consequences of human negligence and as a call to action. To protect forests is to protect life itself. Tempuan urges collective responsibility, to revive hope, replant dreams, and ensure that the heart of the rainforest can beat once more. The destruction of forests is, ultimately, our shared destruction.
