In this island, he get strongly inspired by his friends and the daily issues that are happening around him. But generally, Bali is more open minded in nature.
Throughout the creative process, from the preparation of the early stage, the setting of the props, the construction of the atmosphere, and the use of light, Okta is all on its own
This is a creative processof colliding with each other. He will take the first impression of his imaging sensation to communicate with the people, and they would constantly adjust communication attempt. It’s hard to say that the people have exposed a more relistic and tense side, or Okta has captured the subtle unique perspective. This is also a ‘Secret Answer’
