Existentialism
Existentialism in the broader sense is a 20th century philosophy that is centered upon the analysis of existence and of the way humans find themselves existing in the world. The notion is that humans exist first and then each individual spends a lifetime changing their essence or nature.
In simpler terms, existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility. The belief is that people are searching to find out who and what they are throughout life as they make choices based on their experiences, beliefs, and outlook. And personal choices become unique without the necessity of an objective form of truth. An existentialist believes that a person should be forced to choose and be responsible without the help of laws, ethnic rules, or traditions.

POPO is a street artist of Jakarta. The beginning of its existence starting from the walls of the silent streets. "Speak Silence", said POPO trying to explain his ideas that had been talking through his work as a diary of personal things that can not be expressed verbally.
POPO use the walls on the side streets of Jakarta as "street art diary of Visual Communication ". Diary records are personal stories or events experienced everyday. Visual communication, is a process of will or purpose to another party by using a medium that is only readable by sight.
