Lubang Indah: The pothole installation art

Abstract

The effects of the epidemic of COVID-19 can be seen in the natural deterioration of the roads. Self-isolation and curfews during the pandemic further exacerbate the mental health problem. Through this project, the researchers hoped to convey the negative impression of the pothole-strewn streets through an art installation. Using an artistic medium is one way to counteract the negative perception people have of potholes. In this project, freshly picked flowers, with only stems and no branches, were placed in the pothole. In this way, actual activity can be recorded based on the design of potholes.
