About the Artwork
---
Inspired by Japanese animation Ghibli, Ray Lidya took the character Princess Kaguya and pondered from there. She was in awe in how the fate of the protagonist in the story, which is Princess Kaguya, seems to be laid on concrete. However, in the end the protagonist fights to pave her own story, thus creates her own fate. 
 
This is one of Ray Lidya's few art works that not have flowers. Instead, it has bamboo, which is essential in telling the story of Princess Kaguya.

About the Artist
---
Ray Lidya has submerged herself in the art realm ever since she could remember. She is a graphic design graduate. She joined an art incubation programme, mentored by Atreyu Moniaga, and there she finally found her distinctive style.
 
Her paper-cutting style, infused with tea, is truly a style that channels her romantic persona. Her inspiration comes from Japanese manga and illustrations, and also her hometown. She finds her passion in portraits and flowers. She loves to do portraits because she finds human to be romantic. And she is not stopping there, she also draws inspirations by teaching art to kids and adults alike.
