Siberuit

Siberut explores the intersection of tribal heritage and contemporary life. The subject, a young Mentawai man, bears only a few tattoos—a single fletching—while wearing board shorts, signaling the balance he maintains between ancestral identity and the modern world.

The sculpture emphasizes concealed strength: crossed arms suggest restraint, yet the back and musculature reveal raw, uncontainable power. In bronze, Siberut becomes a study of tension between control and energy, tradition and present, capturing both physicality and the quiet assertion of self in a changing world.
