About this Service
This artwork depicts Garuda, the national symbol of Indonesia, being attacked and gnawed by rats, which symbolize corruption and greed. The Garuda, holding the Pancasila shield, represents the nation and its core values, while the swarm of rats illustrates how corruption undermines justice, weakens the state, and harms society. The red-and-white ribbon above shows Indonesia’s identity, still standing despite being consumed by corruption.
