Ombak Bayangan

Ombak Bayangan Welded Metal Shadow Diorama This handmade welded metal sculpture explores shadow, movement, and Indonesian-inspired storytelling. Built as a framed diorama, the work features layered metal forms, hanging elements, wave-like shapes, and a central figure that becomes animated through light and shadow. The piece is inspired by Indonesian ancestral folklore, ocean mythology, and the visual language of wayang shadow-play, where stories are carried through silhouettes, symbols, and shifting light. When illuminated, the sculpture casts dramatic shadows behind the frame, transforming the work from a static object into a small theatrical scene. Its raw welded construction gives the piece an industrial and handmade character, while the wave forms and puppet-like figure connect it to myth, memory, and the spiritual atmosphere of traditional Indonesian storytelling. Medium: Welded metal, chain, framed metal structure Style: Shadow-box sculpture / metal diorama Themes: Indonesian folklore, wayang-inspired shadow play, ocean mythology, ancestry, memory Display: Best shown with directional lighting to activate the shadows Sculpted by Leo
