In video game there are always stages to get the level cleared. In this work I created a screenshot-like visual from an imaginary video game. I want to create a new image that I got from reality of self-experience and phenomenon that happens at the time. I created a “world” that can only be found in a video game with it’s own story, main characters, “enemy”, and so on.

The main character is myself. There are another characters that I created from popular icons in Indonesia, especially in entertainment world, because that is what made me concerns a lot. I feel that the children today did not have the entertainment that they should get. They finally started to watch or listen to entertainment that supposed to be consumed by teenagers or even adults.

“The Stages” have another meanings than the one I described in the first paragraph. It can be defined as levels in video game, or as stages that always be used in entertainment world.
