âDiam yang Menggeliatâ menunjukkan adanya suatu pertentangan yang sedangterjadi. Diam yang menggeliat perlu dimaknai secara lebih mendalam atau dikembangkandalam arti kiasan. Sesuai dengan imajinasi, persepsi, dan pengalamanbatin penulis, karya ini dimaknai sebagai bentuk proses sebuah perjalanan kehidupanmanusia yang divisualkan secara simbolis dengan subjek tumbuh-tumbuhanatau tanaman. Proses hidup tanaman sama dengan perjalanan hidup manusia, dariawal tumbuh hingga dewasa, sampai menuju masa akhirnya, yaitu menguning,layu, kemudian mengering atau mati. Perwujudan karya ini menggunakan teknikpemotrean close-up agar dapat menangkap detail yang membentuk gambaran fisiksesuatu yang menggeliat. Sebagai ujungnya, dalam pengekspresiaan penciptaankarya ini berorientasi pada âSquirming Silenceâ In the Art Work of Photographic Expression. Silence is mute,still, or not moving, while squirm means starting a movement no matter how slow it is.âSquirming Silenceâ indicates the existence of an ongoing dispute. If simply defined asit is, it would become impossible or would be a questionable truth. A possible solutionfor the phrase of squirming silence is that it needs to be interpreted deeper or developedin the sense of metaphor. In accordance with my imagination, perception, and innerexperience, âSquirming Silenceâ could be interpreted as a form of process of a humanlife journey which is symbolically visualized with the subject of greenery or plants. Thereason is that the process of a plantâs life is almost similar with the journey of humanlife, growing at the beginning until reaches adulthood, towards the end of life, turningyellow, wilting, and finally drying out or passing away. Using the technique of closeupphotography, to capture the details may shape the physical description of somethingsquirming. At the end, in expressing this art work, an orientation on the enlightmentvalues is highly needed to define the meaning of life which is in harmony with thenature.
