I've been looking at the different things I might do for the self-portrait, and I really want to represent my views on the world and my home country of Indonesia. I hate that religion is so important that it has to be on our ID cards back home. Why does it have to be there? I'm essentially an agnostic now but that's not allowed in Indonesia. So since this is assignment is to show what we are, I think this is the best way to express myself, with the symbol for agnosticism/atheism.
Now on to the second and third task of assignment 2. Like I said I don't think religion should be important enough to be recognized on IDs. However the socio-political climate back home disagrees. There has been an increasing amount of religious violence lately, all from radicals attacking religious minorities. Not only that. the religious conservative parties are gaining ground in parliament. I want to make a poster and web layout going against this kind of action. One that promotes my country's motto: Unity in Diversity. So with this, I intend to make the main colours of tasks 2 and 3 as red and white, the colours of the Indonesian flag.
