Amran Rizky explores a sense of déjà vu—a liminal state between familiarity and estrangement. His works reflect on memory, past experiences, contemplation, and individual alienation, exploring the quiet tension between the self and the world it inhabits.
I’m drawn to the
feeling of déjà vu
a liminal state suspended
between familiarity and
estrangement,
where a place, a moment,
or even a feeling seems
to have been encountered
before,
yet remains distant
and difficult to
fully grasp.
Reflecting on the
experience of individual
alienation within the
surrounding existence
and environment,
exploring
the quiet tension
between the self and
the world it inhabits.
Within each painting, a
narrative is incubated
through personal experience
and internal dialogue,
contemplating the
quiet depth of
individuals
absorbed in their
daily rituals.
Without confining this
condition to any social
class, alienation is
viewed as an inevitable
feeling anchored within
every human being.
A state to be acknowledge
while continuously
searching for meaning.
