BRIEF
We were tasked to design a mural for the external walls of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in LA. The purpose is to raise awareness of Indonesia’s culture, diversity and natural beauty to the surrounding communities.
The total dimensions of the walls are approximately 215 ft x 75 ft.
CONCEPT
We were inspired by Tanah Airku (My Homeland), a popular national song describing the beauty of Indonesia and how, even when far away, our heart still lies at home. Knowing the Consulate General to hold events such as Independence Day celebrations, cultural events, educational outreach and others, we want the walls to exude a sense of home and pride to Indonesians living in LA. At the same time, we want to share that experience with surrounding communities so that through this mural people can journey through the wonders of Indonesia.

APPLICATION
The mural is split into five scenes; starting from left to right there
is culture, city life, ocean life, forest and village life, each flowing
into one another. The different sections are brought together by a
unified color palete and graphic flat colors for a contemporary feel.
SECTION 01: CULTURE
We showcased a variety of cultures from the five main islands on Indonesia, such as the Balinese dance, wayang puppets, and the Gamelan ensemble.

SECTION 02: CITY LIFE
This scene brings together homogenous aspects of Indonesian cities such as bustling traditional marketplaces and rows of street vendors. We opted to depict ordinary Indonesian figures you would encounter on the streets, bringing a genuine piece of everyday Indonesian life to the streets of LA.
