Printed using a malfunctioning offset printing press, the comic book depicts Fansuri's discovery of God within a particle. Illustrations by Arda Awigarda depict a stylistic amalgamation of wafak aesthetics (Islamic amulets), Sufi manuscripts from the Indonesian archipelago, and Kirby-esque comic landscapes. The paper quality mirrors that of Indonesian underground comics, and each has a slightly different colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiar Rizaldi works as an artist and filmmaker. His artistic practice focuses mostly on the relationship between technology, labour, and nature, worldviews, genre cinema, and the possibility of theoretical fiction.
