As a Javanese, we love Javanese culture very much for sure. As the proud members of global youth culture we also love contemporary urban culture as well.  So ? Why don’t we mix that ? Here’s the result : a 3 dimensional grafitti in Javanese characters. It reads Uri-Uri. It means “to conservate” in Javanese Language. To conservate what ? To conservate traditional Javanese Characters from the continuous rapid invasion of Latin alphabets !
