Inspired by the political situation that occurred in Indonesia, this lightweight conversation work represents the relationship between the political elite and the lower middle class, how politics has become a topic of conversation in the last few years because all Indonesian people hope for benefits for individual people from the democratic party which is held every five years.The lightweight conversation consists of replica Balenciaga top-speed shoes, which serve to represent the political elite who are close to branded goods. Balenciaga's shoes are intended to reflect the marketing strategies of today's politicians, which are flexible, responsive, agile and dynamic. At the back of this work, there are two groups of figurines, namely Masha & The Bear and The Avengers. The two scale figure groups represent the lower middle class in society, which is at odds with each other due to differences in political views.
