Landscape of a river that became the flow of Mount Merapi's volcanic material with various human tools and the massive sand mining activity after the big eruption in 2010. The lanes of the truck roads became part of the landscape that stretched along the river, and became a manifestation of the arrogance of humans who desire to colonize and conquer nature. The title Ojo Adigang Adigung Adiguna (Don’t be Arrogant, Stubborn, nor Possess the Desire to Always Conquer) acts as a warning so that humans don't act arrogantly, stubbornly, nor possess the desire to always conquer.
