Jenggala Jalma, two words taken from Sanskrit which mean Human Life; Jenggala which means life and Jalma which means human being the title of the work that wants to describe and illustrate some of the characteristics of human life. Jenggala Jalma's work is filled with several objects that are collected into one as a symbol of the unity of the nature of human life.

The 3 spears in Jenggama Jalma are depictions of the Tri Guna or three human traits in the Hindu Whraspati Tattwa book which consists of "Satwam" which means light, calm, and bright mind, "Rajas" which means a fast-moving mind. , and "Tamas" which means dark or heavy thoughts. The spear was also chosen because it depicts the strength of a life that has always been a vessel for the previously mentioned Tri Gunas.

The nature of life and human nature which is symbolized by the spear is bound by the spirit which is the core of the whole life which is described by the existence of a group of fire that seems to hold the three spears to become one unit.

The blue sphere that floats and glows is a symbol of piety, sincerity, and kindness that gather and crystallize into one and radiate in human life. In this work, it is described as something that floats to describe dynamism.

Water which is the background of this work is a symbol of infinite nature, and wants to convey the message that all the properties possessed by humans will never disappear and will always flow.

While green plants are a symbol of the earth, where humans live and stand, where life begins and ends.
