Revised: 2021-04-26. Accepted: 2021-05-20 Abstract Indung means mother in Sundanese. Indung in Sundanese culture is found in Paribasa, Babasan, Carita Pantun, Waditra (Sundanese traditional musical instrument), traditional ceremonies, and others. The word indung, which is found in almost all elements of Sundanese culture and mani- fests in Sundanese artifacts, has an invisible meaning. The meaning of indung in the perspective of Sundanese culture that exists in today’s society has not been explored. The meaning of indung from a cultural perspective needs to be searched for. There have not been found artworks with the theme of indung from a Sundanese cultural perspective, so it is necessary to explore representa- tions in artworks. This study employs the Art-based Research method, in which an investigation is carried out on the data, and the results are represented in artworks. Through questionnaires, interviews, and literature studies, the meaning of indung is extracted and then tabulated to be classified and analyzed. The results of data processing showed that indung has many meanings, the result of converging data from the literature, questionnaire and interview the whole there are 17 meanings, among which the nurse, angel, house, huge, source of life, earth, embrace, harmony, the center of life, and love. The results of data processing are represented in artworks. Artworks made based on the meaning of indung are limited to three titles, namely Sumber Kehidupan (Source of Life), Merangkul (Embracing), and Rumah yang Hangat (Warm Home). The visual exploration contained in the three titles is made using stylized forms with a decorative style, using elements of motifs and colors from West Javanese batik. The media and techniques used are found in writ- ten batik. The results of the visualization of the meaning of indung of the three artworks that are created can be concluded that the meaning of indung cannot be symbolized singly.

Artifacts containing the word indung are the result of the ability of the Sun- danese people to generate ideas. Humans in their cultural life can create ideas that are realized through the ability to develop their cultural systems. These cultural sys- tems are language, knowledge, social or- ganization, technology, economy, religion, INTRODUCTION Sundanese people have cultural va- lues that are carried in their lives. Sun- danese cultural values are contained in the cultural system. The entire system is mani- fested in various forms and artificial media so that in his life, humans are faced with a new reality, namely the world of symbols Corresponding author: E-mail: rini.maulina@email.unikom.ac.id p-ISSN 2541-1683|e-ISSN 2541-2426 Rini Maulina et al., Representation of The Meaning of Indung in Artworks 69 and art (Koentjaraningrat, 2009). Indung is found in almost all ele- ments of Sundanese culture, such as in language, social systems, livelihood sys- tems, religious systems, knowledge, and art systems. This shows that the indung is very important for the Sundanese people. Heryana (2012) states that: “The mention of indung when side by side with father will be more dominant; at least arrive first or earlier. Keeping or mentioning the word indung before the father is not a coincidence or a hando- ver of gratitude but based on a view that values indung (read: women) more than men.” Indung is scattered in Sundanese and cultural artifacts as Paribasa, Babasan, Ca- rita Pantun, Mantra/Jangjawokan, Waditra (Sundanese traditional musical instru- ment), and customs. Indung is written in Sundanese such as suku indung, indung len- geun, indung kesang, indung beurang, indung peuting, leuit indung, pare indung, urat in- dung, and others. Indung is also contained in the name Waditra (Sundanese traditio- nal musical instrument) such as Angklung Indung, Calung Indung, Goong Indung, Ka- capi Indung, and others. Indung is also con- tained in carita pantun, gending karasemen, and wewengkon Garut who are mentioned as mythological figures of Sundanese wo- men, as stated by Heryana (2012) that there are several names (figures) in Sundanese mythology who are identified as typical of Sundanese women, namely Dayang Sum- bi, Sunan Ambu, and Nyi Sri Pohaci. It is hoped that these three distinct characters with different characteristics can unite and turn into indung, a mother. Purna (2019) states that the natural power that can give birth to what is in this world is then personified as a Goddess or Mother. Thus, the mention of indung is not limited to women who give birth. Accor- ding to Heryana (2006), the cultural indung is the name of indung who is intended for something (can be something or human- being) by taking on the feminine charac- teristics of a woman. The most important thing is characterization: giving the indung character to the object or person attached to it. Indung in objects such as kacapi in- dung, leuit indung, indung in mythology, indung in paribasa and others, is a symbolic form, especially in a text (words). The word indung which is manife- sted in customs and artifacts has an invi- sible meaning. If someone wants to know and understand, he/she must look for it. Prawira (2017) states humans are always looking for meaning in objects and pheno- mena that surround them with or without accuracy, true or not, and humans try to give meaning to these objects or phenome- na. Prawira (2017) states that society consists of three trends: first, people who maintain old traditions and customs; se- cond, people who accommodate old and new cultures; and people who want new values to get new values and develop their culture. This study is limited to finding the meaning of indung from a cultural perspec- tive in the last two groups, namely, peop- le who accommodate old and new cultu- res and people who want new values and develop their culture (current Sundanese people), through interview, questionnai- res, and literature studies. In addition, in existing artworks in Indonesia, there have not been found artworks with main the- mes from a cultural perspective, especially Sundanese culture. Based on this, the mea- ning of indung obtained from data analy- zing is represented in visual artworks. METHOD The object of this research is indung in Sundanese culture. This research is lo- cated in several areas of West Java, such as Sumedang Regency, Cirebon City, Ka- rawang Regency, and Bandung City. The research was conducted from March 2018 to December 2020. The meaning of indung was collected through questionnaires, in- terviews, and literature studies. The questionnaire was conducted on 51 people consisting of 36 men and 15 women, aged 17 to 23 years, claiming to be Sundanese. These questions are asked to Harmonia: Journal of Arts Research and Education 21 (1) (2021): 68-7870 explore the meaning of indung in the pre- sent Sundanese generation. Interviews to explore the meaning of indung were conducted with resource persons with cultural and artistic backg- rounds, namely H. Asep Sutisna, S.Pd. (Art Division and Head of K3S Cilamaya Wetan, Karawang), Mr. Jeje (communi- ty leader, ceremony leader in Ngalaksa Village/Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency), Prof. Endang Caturwati (Profes- sor of the Institute of Indonesian Arts and Culture Bandung), Ugo Untoro (Indonesi- an Contemporary Artist), Associate Prof. She-Fong Chung (Director of the National Cheng-chi University Arts Center, Naa- tional Cheng-chi University), Ir. Eko Pra- woto, M. Arch (Lecturer in Architecture, Gadjah Mada University), and Drs. I Ketut Murdana (Lecturer at the Faculty of Art and Design at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts, Denpasar). A literature study is carried out to collect the meaning of indung from vario- us sources such as books, journals, theses, conferences/seminars, articles on web pa- ges, and others. The data of the meaning of indung from the results of the three data collection techniques are outlined in tabu- lated form. After the data on the meaning of indung based on the questionnaire, inter- view, and literature study is collected, the data is juxtaposed to obtain the converging of the meaning of indung. The meaning of indung converged is then represented in the creation of artworks to obtain a symbo- lic meaning for the meaning of indung. The work is made using techniques and media in traditional written batik making. The method used in the creation of artworks is Art-based Research (ABR). ABR is a transdisciplinary approa- ch to knowledge building that incorpora- tes the principles of creative arts in a re- search context. The practice of ABR is a methodological tool used by researchers across scientific disciplines during any or all phases of research, including problem creation, data or content creation, analysis, interpretation, and representation (Leavy, 2015). Shaun McNiff (as cited in Leavy, 2015) states that these tools adapt the prin- ciples of creative arts to address research questions holistically. Therefore, this in- vestigative process involves researchers in making art as a way of knowing. The prac- tice of investigation is informed by the be- lief that arts and humanities can facilitate social scientific goals (Jones, 2010). Based on the statement above, ABR is a method that is different from quali- tative methods in general. ABR involves art in research. In this regard, Greenwood (2019) states that one of the main reasons for the growth of art-based approaches to research is the recognition that life experi- ences are multi-sensory, multifaceted, and related to complex ways to time, space, ideology, and relationships with others. Traditional research approaches have been seen by increasing numbers of researchers as outstanding brain/mind, verbal, and temporal approaches to knowledge and experience. Utilizing arts in research is one of many shifts in seeking honest inquiry and representation. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Indung and Basic Beliefs of the Sunda- nese People Indung in Kamus Besar Bahasa In- donesia means mother; parents (KBBI Kemendikbud, 2016). Indung in the Sun- danese Dictionary means 1nu ngakandung urang jeung ngajurukeunana (the person who conceives and gives birth to us), 2pun biang (mother), 3tuang ibu (mother) (Danadibrata, 2006). The word indung in Sundanese culture has various understan- dings, generally understood as a mother. However, based on the literature, the mea- ning of indung is not limited to the mother. Indung can mean nature, role, symbol, phi- losophy, etc. Based on Heryana’s (2006) research, indung is divided into two categories: bio- logical indung and cultural indung. Biolo- gical indung is related to the nature and role of women in domestic life. Marriage is the gateway for a woman to become in- Rini Maulina et al., Representation of The Meaning of Indung in Artworks 71 dung. Indung as a mother has female cha- racteristics such as being gentle, loving and having cikahuripan (all the causes that make life) for children. In marriage, indung also functions as a process of family rege- neration. According to Toynbee et al. (1964), culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted by symbols, is the distinctive attainments of human groups, including their embodiment in artifacts; the essential core of culture comprises traditional. Indung in a Sundanese culture, based on Kroeber and Kluckhohn’s statement, can be seen as an explicit culture as well as an implicit culture. The explicit culture of indung is the word/text, while the implicit culture is the meaning of the word/text of indung. One of the elements of culture is a ba- sic assumption. This element is in the dee- pest part and visible and which is the ba- sis of culture. This basic assumption, built through a certain evolutionary process, consists of basic assumptions and beliefs, which become the foundation for acting in certain cultural societies in carrying out their lives (Uyan Dur, 2015). It can be con- cluded that the implicit culture, according to Kroeber and Kluckhohn is the same as the basic assumption according to Banu Inanc Dur. Heryana (2012) called indung of Sun- danese artifacts “mata holang”, which is a Sundanese idiom that means the source, center of life, or the spearhead of activities. Heryana’s statement above and under- standing of the “mata holang” show that indung is a view of life and basic assump- tions and basic beliefs about life in Sun- danese culture (see Figure 1). Further and in the practical field of art creation, Ernst Cassier stated (as quo- ted in Prawira, 2017) that humans live in the physical world and live in a symbolic world. Language, myth, art, and religi- on are part of that symbolic world. Cas- sier also emphasized that humans, apart from having the ability to think systems, also have the ability for symbolic systems. With this system, humans develop symbo- lic thinking and symbolic behavior as hu- man characteristics that are different from animals. Figure 1. Diagram of the Application of Ind- ung as Basic Assumptions (Source: Personal Data, 2019) The Invisible Meaning of Indung Shaules (2007) states that the visible products of culture are symbols of dee- per meaning. Artifacts are cultural forms (objects) created by humans. Objects are visible cultural/product elements that contain invisible meanings. Indung (text/ explicit culture/visible product) contained in Sundanese cultural artifacts has yet to be explored. Meaning can be extracted from the relationships between humans who estab- lish communication. Aart van Zoest in Pra- wira (2017) said the relationship between humans is established in communication using these signs. Humans send and re- ceive signs and recognize their meaning. Furthermore, Roland Barthes (as cited in Robinson, 2011) states that a sign, in this context, refers to something which con- veys meaning – for example, a written or spoken word, a symbol or a myth. The ex- planation above can be seen in Figure 2. Figure 2. Diagram of Indung as a Symbol (text) (Source: Personal Data, 2018) Harmonia: Journal of Arts Research and Education 21 (1) (2021): 68-7872 Analysis of the Meaning of Indung Artwork is made based on the re- sults of research related to anthropology, the meaning of Indung collected from Sun- danese culture is anthropological-related research that involves the practice of rep- resentation where the results of the rese- arch are represented in artworks. In this regard, Preiser (2010) states that both art and anthropology rely on observation skills and various forms of visual literacy to collect and represent data. Anthropolo- gists represent their data mostly in written form through ethnographic accounts, and artists represent their findings through imaginative artistic media such as pain- ting, sculpture, filmmaking, and music. Based on this, before being repre- sented in an artwork, the meaning of in- dung needs to be analyzed to get the essen- ce of the meaning of indung. The meaning of indung obtained from literature data, questionnaires, and interviews are outlin- ed in several tables. The results of literatu- re studies show that there are 21 meanings of indung, which can be seen in Table 1. The results of the questionnaire indicate 22 meanings of indung that can be seen in Table 2. The results of the interviews sho- wed that there were 18 meanings of indung that can be seen in Table 3. Table 1.

(Dienapu- tra, 2012) Sumard- jo “The fields in Sundanese society are called huma. In Javanese society (sawah), there is omah which means “house.” But on Mentawai Is- land, huma means village. The match among rice fields, houses, and villages shows the importance of rice fields in Sundanese society. Because the house is a woman, so the most important part of the house has woman characteristics. (Sumardjo, 2003) Drs. Agus Heryana Biological Indung Indung culture The female character is found in the mythological figures of Sunan Ambu and Dewi Sri. The characteristics of women such as gentle, affectionate, and cika- huripan for their children. Indung becomes the spiritual central figure of the Sundanese people. Indung is a symbol of perfection for the attainment of spirituality that is lived in everyday life. (Heryana, 2006) Heri Mo- hamad Tohari In Sri Sadana’s carita pantun, there is a meaning of woman in sym- bolic, aesthetic, and ethical forms. In Sri Sadana’s mythology, it is found that the Sundanese human mind places women in a great and very respectable position. (Tohari, 2013) Agus Haryana The characteristics of Sundanese women through Sundanese mytho- logical figures, namely Dayang Sumbi, Sunan Ambu, and Nyi Sri Pohaci. The position of women as indung in Sundanese culture is the eye of holang or the center of life in social activities. (Heryana, 2012) R.H. Hasan Mustapa Indung is the sign of all role models. Something that is considered more, is called indung. People who educate children from an early age, even if they are not human, must be called indung.

Correlation of questionnaire, inter- view, and literature data. (Source: Personal Data, 2021) Representation of the Meaning of Indung in Artwork Research on the meaning of indung produces the essence of the meaning of indung as presented in Figure 3, the result is represented in the artwork. Art is the practice of representation and the product is representation. When we speak, write, draw, take pictures, make digital images or make videos, there seems to be a bit of a dispute that what we are doing is making representations. Viewers and readers en- gage with representation (Bolt, 2004). Artwork that represent the data pro- cessing results in Figure 3 are limited to the three meanings of indung, namely the Source of Life, Embrace, and Home. The title used for artworks is Sumber Kehidupan (The Source of Life), Merangkul (Embrace), and Rumah yang Hangat (Warm Home). The meaning of indung as the source of life is visualized by the sun. As an analo- gy to the source of life needed by all living things, the sun is described as the main ob- ject in the artwork. The meaning of indung as an embrace is visualized by a tree. Trees as an analogy to embracing, it is the same as accepting anyone. Trees are needed by all living things. Butterflies, beetles, bees, birds, other animals, and humans come to the vicinity of the tree to get food from the juice of the flower, sap, or fruit, and get protection from wind, rain, or heat, and the tree embraces all living things that need it. The meaning of indung as “Rumah yang Hangat” is visualized as a home. The home as an analogy to the Warm House is the warmth and comfort of the shelter for all living things. The elements of the home, such as doors, windows, walls, and roofs, are described as the main objects. The concept of the three works con- sists of different aspects, each of which has an important role in the creation of visual work. These aspects are the stages of visual formation, these aspects are, Reflection: A response to a visual form in nature. Defection: Development of images based on observations of the vi- sual world. Composition: Organization of the image and quality in the creation of a unified statement designed objects and artworks. Expression: The use of art ma- terials as a vehicle or medium for saying something in a meaningful way (Alberta Education, 1985). The following is a visual concept from the work of Sumber Kehidupan, Me- rangkul, and Rumah yang Hangat. The visual styles used are decorative using elements of motifs and colors from West Javanese Harmonia: Journal of Arts Research and Education 21 (1) (2021): 68-7876 batik (see Figure 4). The visual style of ba- tik is used as a Sundanese aesthetic con- cept. Sundanese aesthetic concepts are also found in Sundanese batik (priangan) deco- rations. The aesthetic aspect of Sundanese decoration has local wisdom values for Sundanese culture (Maulina et al., 2020). Figure 4. “Sumber Kehidupan” by Rini Mau- lina 2021, written batik 80 x 80 cm. (Source: Personal Data, 2021) The visual concept of “Sumber Kehi- dupan” (See Figure 5) includes a) Reflecti- on, which uses forms found in nature such as plants, trees, mountains, water, clouds, sun, and sky; b) Defection; these forms are then transferred in the form of styli- zed batik visual style using the technique of written batik; c) Composition, the com- position spreads to fill the area of a square box, by dividing curved and straight lines. The sun is analogous to the meaning of the source of life as the main object in the mid- dle of the composition. Mountain views of clouds, plants, water, and animals are pla- ced around the composition, framing the main object; d) Expression, the media used is fibre reactive dyes (brand Remazol) on cotton cloth measuring 50x55 cm with written batik techniques and colet color techniques. The colors used are the colors found in batik cloth from West Java. The visual concept of “Merangkul” (See Figure 5) includes a) Reflection, which uses forms found in nature such as hu- mans, animals, plants, trees, mountains, clouds, sun, and sky; b) Defection, the sha- pes depicted in the form of stylized batik visual style using the technique of written batik; c) Composition, the composition spreads to fill a square box, by dividing the diagonal curved line in the middle of the composition. The analogy tree of the mea- ning of indung to embrace as the main ob- ject is placed in the middle of the composi- tion. Human, plant, and animal objects are placed around the composition, framing the main object; d) Expression, the media used is fibre reactive dyes (brand Rema- zol) on cotton cloth measuring 50x55 cm with written batik techniques and colet co- loring techniques. The colors used are the colors found in batik cloth from West Java. Figure 5. “Merangkul” by Rini Maulina 2021, written batik 80 x 80 cm. (Source: Personal Data, 2021) The visual concept of “Rumah yang Hangat” (see Figure 6) includes a) Reflecti- on, which uses forms found in nature such as animals, houses, plants, trees, moun- tains, clouds, sun, and sky; b) Defection, the shapes depicted in the form of stylized batik visual style using the technique of written batik; c) Composition, the compo- sition spreads to fill the area of a square box, with a straight-line division. The hou- se is an analogy to the meaning of indung. Home, as the main object, is placed in the Rini Maulina et al., Representation of The Meaning of Indung in Artworks 77 middle of the composition, views of moun- tains, clouds, plants, animals are placed around the composition, framing the main object; d) Expression, the media used is fib- re reactive dyes (brand Remazol) on cotton cloth measuring 50x55 cm with written batik techniques and colet coloring techni- ques. The colors used are the colors found in batik cloth from West Java. Figure 6. “Rumah yang Hangat” by Rini Mau- lina 2021, written batik 80 x 80 cm. (Source: Personal Data, 2021) CONCLUSION The meaning of indung which is rep- resented in visual artworks consisting of the titles Sumber Kehidupan, Merangkul, and Rumah yang Hangat, visually has simi- larities, namely, various shapes and colors. The forms consisting of elements such as sky, sun, clouds, mountains, water, trees, plants, animals, humans, and homes, are the wealth of the meaning of indung which is attached to life. All three artworks repre- sent the meaning of indung diversely, that the meaning of indung cannot be created in a single symbol. REFERENCES Alberta Education. (1985).
