Since I was a child I have been making ogoh-ogoh which are large scale puppets that are used as symbols in the annual Balinese Ceremony called NYEPI.

In my spare time I made mini ones to use as models for the larger ones, which are 3-5 meters tall.

• Learned puppetry, joinery
• learned problem solving
• learned hydraulics
• learned how to work in a limited budget
• learned how work with what ever materials I can find to achieve the goal.

"I started by making a movable leg out of popsicle sticks, and wooden skewers I found in a drawer in my kitchen. I build the hydraulics by putting two syringes (one on the leg to move it up and down, and one on the base) connected by a small house i bought from a fish tank store and filled one syringe with water in the fully pulled position while the other was in the fully pushed position. With this I could pull the one with no water to push the one with water in.

I taped them with masking tape to the leg and the base. I then built the torso of the statue which turned out to be too heavy, so I had to add more sticks to make the leg more strong and built the torso and upper body out of skewers to minimize the weight."

Coming from a village in Bali to Camp Killooleet I learned how to adapt to a new culture and how to work in teams. I joined the maintenance crew and learned how to fix bikes. I also worked in the art department with Soldering silver and other metals.
