Designing 3D Mosaic Technique Using Glass and Resin with the Inspiration of ‘Bandung Lautan Api’

Abstrak

Mosaic is one of the oldest art forms in the world with a wide variety of techniques and variations. With so many mosaic techniques, this research focuses on the development of 3D mosaic techniques. After conducting research and experimentation, the author decided to use glass and resin in the product design.

The author drew inspiration from the historic Bandung Lautan Api because its values deeply resonate with the author’s family experiences. Born and raised in Bandung until age four, the author had to abruptly leave everything behind and move to Jakarta due to personal issues. This event parallels the Bandung Lautan Api, where residents were forced to abandon, destroy their homes, and sacrificing themselves for the greater good. Through this project, the author aims to share these experiences and the values of resilience that many people who have had to leave their homes might relate to.
