Statement

My work explores internalized archetypes through feminine representation and iconography, interweaving historical narratives, popular culture, and psychological influences. I examine how visual constructs are shaped by sociohistorical contexts while engaging with inner emotional experience.

Informed by formative embodied memory and the concept of the collective unconscious, my practice investigates the emotional terrain of identity and subjectivity. I’m particularly interested in notions of façade and artifice, and the dynamics of veiling and unveiling, the visage, and the mask—as means of both concealing and constructing feminine identity.

Natasha Lubis is an Indonesian artist who lives and works between Bali and Jakarta.

GlogauAIR Project

I aim to explore visual storytelling and mythology as pathways to personal and collective meaning. My work blends digital and traditional techniques and experiments with mixed media, with plans to expand into dimensional forms beyond the canvas, weaving feminine figuration into moody, whimsical tableaux.

Drawing on archival photographs of Indonesian women from the colonial era, I reimagine these symbolically charged figures to reclaim cultural narratives and restore agency through stylistic forms of enchantment.

Guided by folkloric structures and archetypal imagery, my practice bridges historical contexts with imagined experience, reinterpreting internalized symbols shaped by cultural and personal memory.
