'Penunggang Makhluk Kayangan' (Divine Realm Beast Rider) exposes the dark undercurrents of power and influence, where individuals in politics, business, or social circles exploit elite connections for personal gain. A devil-like figure riding a massive shark under an eerie yellow glow symbolizes the calculated, often hidden nature of manipulation and ambition. The shark’s strength reflects dominance, while the rider represents those who mask self-interest behind charm and authority. This work highlights how unchecked power in any realm quietly shapes society from the shadows.
