Brief

The canvas displays a backlit screen, projecting complex, stylized silhouettes derived from traditional Indonesian figures. The viewer interacts as a puppeteer, manipulating various cut-out figures by dragging them across the viewing area. This movement dynamically alters the shapes and sizes of the shadows cast onto the translucent screen. The lighting mechanism simulates the shifting source of light, causing the perceived depth and contours of the puppets to change rapidly. The visual palette is restricted to deep, dramatic hues and sharp, shifting forms, emphasizing the interplay between object and projected light.

Artist's statement · qwen3-coder:30b-a3b-q4_K_M, unedited

This sketch creates a dynamic, shadow-based puppet theater where users can manipulate stylized Indonesian figures to alter projected silhouettes on a backlit screen. The scene simulates shifting light sources that continuously change the perceived depth and contours of the puppets. Through interactive dragging and autonomous motion, viewers experience evolving visual narratives that emphasize dramatic contrast, form, and the interplay between object and shadow.

The executor's own account of what it built, kept verbatim. A claim about the work, not a finding about it.
