The topic of Popular culture icons in Heri Dono’s works are essentially not merely depictions or normative representations of characters, but rather spaces where principles and ideologies clash. The simplification of communication forms in response to phenomena is thoroughly woven into symbols and traditional values, serving as a form of resistance against the repressive dominance of global culture.
