Size: 75cm x 100cm
Acrylic on Canvas

A miniature of common big cities in Indonesia, such as Jakarta and Surabaya. Gloomy in color as the dark side mind of a man who lives in a crowded city, when the necessity chocked him as a consequences to live in those city. Transportation, settlement compare to the money in his pocket. Which are not worth enough with his long working hours.
