Studies and visual references behind ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฉ. Before it became a finished sculpture, Alfiah Rahdini worked through sketches, material experiments, and visual exploration. Looking at these early pieces, you can see how the sculpture gradually took shape, and how the ideas also carried over into Chibi Moonah and the other collaborative objects with Musโ‰ก.

Meet ๐—”๐—น๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—ต ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ. Alfiah Rahdini (b. 1990) works across sculpture, installation, and performance, often looking at how social expectations shape and influence everyday life. In ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฉ #2 (2022), she reimagines a popular 90s anime character as a young hijabi cosplayer. Through this figure, Alfiah brings together global pop culture references with everyday Indonesian contexts, while questioning expectations often placed on womenโ€™s appearance and identity. This work becomes the inspiration for several products developed together with Musโ‰ก. Images: @alfiah.rahdini @artjog.id
