Work

Setyawan's work investigates the transitory nature of existence. [1] Setyawan works mainly with ceramics, as well as video, installation, drawing and performance. [3]

In his ceramic work, he produces hundreds or thousands of organic or geometric forms by hand that are installed on walls or floors—”exalted aggregations” that resemble labyrinths or mandalas. [1]

Setyawan's use of repetition through aesthetic forms as well as the repetitive labor of the handmade slip-casting process emphasize a meditative aspect in his work, [4] which he relates back to factory-produced ceramics where slip-casting is used. [5]
