"Between Two Worlds" Animation, 2025

In this project, Zahra collaborated with Zahirah to create an animation titled Between Two Worlds.

Zahra’s role focused on production design, including creating backgrounds, environments, and props for the animation.

Between Two Worlds explores themes of renewable energy and Indonesian culture, highlighting the contrast between village and city life. The story celebrates the spirit of Gotong Royong (mutual cooperation) as the heart of community progress. In the animation, the village is portrayed as both advanced and deeply connected to its traditional culture. Despite embracing renewable energy technologies, the villagers continue to honour their customs and way of life, demonstrating that innovation and tradition can thrive together.

Through this story, the animation delivers a meaningful message: if the village can move forward sustainably while preserving its culture, then the city can too. It invites audiences to see that progress doesn’t mean losing identity, it means growing together, guided by the same collective spirit that unites communities across Indonesia.

The project underwent an intricate process, supported by extensive research and real-life inspiration from Ciptagelar and Kamanggih Villages.

Discover: Publishing as Practice, 2024

The project is creating a publication about the relationship between place and culture. Delving more about publishing as an artistic practice, which is the intersection between publication and art.

The book's concept is to provide knowledge about history, plants, or urban design around the Melbourne Art Precinct. It is about the relationship between place and culture, which can be seen in the plants, architecture, and people’s surroundings.

Zahra also created and implemented 3D Augmented Reality to create the book and poster. The purpose of using augmented reality is that besides the physical engagement, which is the book and poster, there is also a digital engagement with the reader. Zahra tried to communicate the idea through various mediums.
