Circle of Life Series - Orange

Redy Rahadian - Painted Steel

Circle of Life series is an exploration of the circular form, constructed from hundreds of interconnected small human figures a signature of Redy Rahadian. Made of bright orange iron, the circle stands at an angle on a solid black base.

The circular shape in this work symbolizes the cycle of life, continuity, and the connectivity between individuals throughout the passage of time. Each small figure within the circle contributes to forming the complete structure, reflecting the philosophy that life is the result of unity, collaboration, and the sacrifices of everyone.

Black string, also composed of tiny human figures, wrap around the circle, adding a powerful narrative dimension as if symbolizing bonds, pressure, or even protection making the piece not only a visual reflection but also an emotional expression of the dynamics of human life.
