In a history that is recorded many times, a man held on the truth on the contrary was obstructed by his community in order to not grow. In fact, he on the opposite was able to grow developing and larger, and to give benefits even on the pressure.

In this painting, I depicted the fact to a tree that is growing and bearing fruits even being beaten up in a burning iron ladle.

Dalam sejarah tercatat berkali-kali, seseorang yang mempertahankan kebenaran justru dihalang-halangi oleh komunitasnya agar tidak tumbuh. Kenyataannya, ia justru mampu tumbuh berkembang, membesar, dan memberikan manfaat kendati tumbuh dalam tekanan.

Dalam lukisan ini, saya menggambarkan hal tersebut dengan pohon yang tumbuh dan berbuah meskipun dibajar dalam tungku besi yang panas menyala.
