Highlighted Artwork: '100%'

In his artwork '100%', Hanariman reflects on his journey after enduring six rounds of treatment. The struggle against chemotherapy brought about a distaste for certain colors that reminded him of his pain. He expresses a longing to return to a version of himself that once embraced color with joy. Determined to reclaim his vitality, he returns to the canvas, adding vibrant orange to symbolize his commitment to healing and renewal.
