This work illustrates the results of the presidential candidate's debate which occurred on 17 February 2019. At this second round of debates, the themes discussed were Energy and Food, Natural Resources and the Environment, and Infrastructure. The interesting thing about this debate was that Prabowo's manner during the debate, which showed more appreciation of Jokowi's vision and mission in terms of how Jokowi saw the debate’s themes than it did in providing his own arguments.

This work was published on Instagram on 18 February 2019 with the caption: Jokowi has knowledge of metal music, while Prabowo appreciates this knowledge.

This work illustrates the political news about the release of Ahok (Basuki Tjahaya Purnama), the former mayor of Jakarta, which occurred on 24 January 2019. Ahok left Rutan Mako Brimob after serving a total sentence of 1 year 8 months and 15 days. Ahok went to jail in May 2017 for alleged cases of blasphemy against Islam. Ahok's release from prison made the Indonesian political world heat up again. Like a lion coming out of prison and ready to attack his political opponents.

This work was published on Instagram on 24 January 2019 without a caption. Not 24 hours later this image was taken down by Instagram after many netizens reported that they did not like the illustration.

This work illustrates the political news about Ahok's release and at the same time responds to an earlier image that was removed by Instagram. It is speculated that the previous post was taken down by Instagram because it showed the face of Habib Rizieq (the leader and founder of the Islamic Defenders Front). Due to this, in the second post the face of Habib Rizieq was covered.

At the same time the Indonesian political world was also reporting on the release of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir, a terrorist prisoner. The plan was to release Abu Bakar Ba'asyir on the same day Ahok was released, but this plan failed because there were several polemics that occurred, namely the unwillingness of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir to sign a pledge stating loyalty to the Pancasila.

This work was published on Instagram on 25 January 2019 with the caption: Please forgive me if the earlier post offended you, therefore with this post I have edited the image a little and posted again.

This work illustrates the results of the presidential candidate's debate on 17 March 2019. In this third round of debates, the themes discussed were Education, Health, Employment, and Social and Culture. Jokowi responded to the themes of the debate focusing on his preparatory plan for facing global challenges in the future, while Prabowo was more interested in presenting how he would work with past methodologies. At times Prabowo brought up the issue of military war within this theme.

This work was published on Instagram on 14 April 2019 with the caption: Jokowi came from the future to visit his friend in a younger time who likes to play ding dong war games.

This work is a statement of my attitude towards the choice of Indonesian presidential candidates which I will elect in the election on 17 April 2019.

This work was published on Instagram on 17 April 2019, with the caption:

JOKOWI IS ORDINARY

This is my conversation with one of my friends, whose name is Ibeng. After some time chatting of this and that, we concluded that Jokowi is really just ordinary.

Since Jokowi became president, many friends have said that Jokowi is an extraordinary leader. Therefore, there was a massive amount of support when he was nominated to become president again. Naturally.

Even though Jokowi is ordinary, let's have a look at some of the things he has done, huh?

There is a damaged road, he fixes it. There are sick people, he visits them. There is corruption, it’s eradicated. There are thieves stealing fish, they are arrested. There are drug dealers, they are punished. There are those who don't yet have electricity, it is provided. There are traffic jams, the MRT is created. And there are still many other ‘ORDINARY’ things'.

All of this makes Jokowi seem 'extraordinary' at a time when he is in an 'unordinary’ situation. But perhaps that is what is needed to become the current president of Indonesia.

In this way, I will also be ordinary today, by going to the polling station and again choosing that ordinary person.

This work is an illustration of the clashes between the police and the masses who go by the name of the Action of the Kedaulatan Rakyat National Movement (GNKR) which occurred on 22 May 2019 in front of the General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) office on Jalan Mh Thamrin, Central Jakarta. GNKR is a volunteer group from Prabowo Sandi who called for ‘people power’. They were then renamed GNKR because some of Prabowo Sandi's volunteers were arrested and jailed for calling for ‘people power’. The action of GNKR was a form of protest against the General Election Commission (KPU) which they allegedly committed fraud by announcing presidential and vice-presidential candidates Joko Widodo and K.H. Ma'ruf Amin as the election winners.
