Tyto Alba as a Creative Idea for Artistic Short Spears, made by Muhammad
Abstract
Muhammad Samsul created three spears inspired by the exoticism of the Tyto alba. Tyto alba's role in the wild is considered to control rat pests that harm agriculture. However, Tyto alba conservation efforts have not been optimally implemented through regulations and policies from regional leaders. The spears were created based on external visual criteria, and the elements of "gebyar" and "greget" (exciting) were chosen as the basis for their meaning. The contrast of black and gold can be associated with majesty, strength, and wisdom, which are expected to influence wise behavior towards nature. The three spears are named Dares, Ljaluka, and Wicaksana. The meanings built on the spears' appearance are an effort to establish a strong and dignified identity based on one's natural state as a creature of God Almighty.
