In this Java Mart work, Alit seemed to have set his small army of “liliputians” against a hellish black backdrop that’s also populated with small demonic figures. This nightmarish scene could well be inspired by one of Indonesia’s huge metropolis that are heavily populated, teeming with life, commerce, and perhaps mayhem as portrayed in Alit’s thought-provoking works with their rich multi-layered meanings.
