From Arya Wirawan:
"The idea of the work entitled 'Oni Giri' is a pun on the name of a typical Japanese food called Onigiri. Where when the two words are separated it will be found the meaning of "Demon" (Oni) and "Politeness" (Giri).
However, the meaning of Onigiri as the basis of the wordplay has a functional connection with the concept of thought that I try to offer through the wordplay on the title 'Oni Giri', which is either 'Onigiri' as a name for the staple food of Japanese people (especially for travelers) and 'Oni Giri' which is meant in the concept of this work has the character of a thing that has a functional value as a consumption material of high value for the physical and the mind in the life force of a human being who is traveling and exploring various possibilities in life from different places.
As I mentioned above, this work entitled 'Oni Giri' has the meaning 'Politeness of Demon', which incidentally is a composition of my satirical idiom about an old quote "don't judge a book by its cover". I try to stand on another point of view that we often find as something bad at first glance, but actually, there is truth and goodness behind it that can lead us to improve ourselves and reflect on ourselves in real to know what we have to improve in every day. This applies to a human being to another human being, as well as the relationship between humans and other creatures that are not commonly found in human daily life in general, and even this point of view also applies to a life moment that brings us to the worst conditions in our lives.
As humans who easy to get lost in so many things, we are often reluctant or afraid to recognize and dig deeper into something that looks bad/new to ourselves, so that we fail to see the good meaning which is also sustenance that lies behind the "door", as for later walking a long way to turn around looking for its meaning to another door which in the end will only lead us back to that very first "door" and force us to open it to the answers that have been in front of our eyes before.
In short, I dedicate this work to myself and all of us to always try to see a bad thing from another point of view to get benefits and meaning for our own lives and to learn not to rush to judge something negatively in a flash. Especially when we all experience a bear market phase which makes the entire ecosystem inside frustrated and very emotional, which would be better if we use this momentum to perfect our work and behavior to welcome even better days in the next phase of the future. growth and development of this Crypto Art."
