At 43 years old, Rama Aditia Adikara has proven that visual impairment does not limit one’s potential. Despite his condition, he has become a successful author and a guiding light for others within the visually impaired community in Indonesia. His novels such as “Mata Kedua” (Second Eye) and “Cukup Gue Aja” (It Stops with Me) have gained him a loyal following, and he feels a responsibility to educate the public about people with disabilities.
Another inspiring artist is Faisal “Aal” Rusdi, who also uses art to break down barriers. Despite having cerebral palsy, Aal creates breathtaking paintings of landscapes, flowers, and plants on canvas. His work often depicts sunsets or full moons and has a calming effect on viewers. Blogger Karina Eka Dewi Salim may not be an art expert but can appreciate the creativity in Aal’s paintings.
Both Rama and Aal are champions of inclusivity and use their art to showcase the talents of people with disabilities. Their work serves as a reminder that creativity knows no bounds and that everyone has the ability to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.
