Variable dimensions

The artwork of a young female artist, Yawara Oky Rahmawati, uses the appropriation method to borrow certain ways of working and visual images to be reinterpreted by the problems that occur today. Yawara appropriated children's drawings by adopting, borrowing and recycling their images which were applied in textile art. Recycling here is intended to re-process children's drawings into textile art
according to the concept created, so as to produce different meanings. Yawara's textile works of art use patchwork and embroidery as a medium, because they have various advantages. Although the leftover cloth, the patchwork pile is very rich in various colors, motifs and textures, with an artistic point of view these fabrics can be processed into unique works and have high bargaining value. Cleverness in choosing and matching colors from patchwork pieces is also a consideration in order to produce an attractive unity. Yawara often divides his works into several narratives. As art connoisseurs, we can always find implicit and important messages in each of her interesting works. “The Wisdom Behind the Disaster” tells the story of a young child's imagination about the environment around his house. The image is reinterpreted by the art in its current state. The pandemic demands that all activities be carried out at
home. Work, school, and other activities are completely limited. However, there is another side to the pandemic that seems to be a warning to be more concerned about home, family and what is around them. Parents who are busy working eventually have more time with their children at home. Taking care of the environment, maintaining cleanliness and health are things that must be felt so that the house remains a palace for shelter.
