Melindungi Puna - Melindungi (Indonesian for “Protect”) is a foundry bronze sculpture of a Sumatran tiger, one of the world’s most critically endangered big cats, with fewer than 400 remaining in the wild. These rare and majestic animals face relentless threats from poaching and habitat loss due to deforestation, placing them on the IUCN Red List as critically endangered. This sculpture captures their powerful presence, a symbol of strength, fragility, and the urgent need for conservation. On the back, the word 'Melindungi' is embedded alongside sculpted hands gently cradling a tiger paw, a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to protect what remains. Through this work, I hope to raise awareness and inspire action to safeguard the Sumatran tigers from extinction, before it’s too late.
