MATA GELAP & MATA TERANG
Two eyes, one soul.
The two forces of NEOLUKU
In NEOLUKU I work with two inner forces:
- MATA gelap – the dark eye
- MATA terang – the clear eye
They are not opposites of good and evil. Together they
form your balance.
Mata Gelap - The Dark Eye
• Instinct
• Reacting without thinking
• Fighting without explanation
• Pride without doubt
It's what our ancestors needed as warriors.
Speed. Protection. Survival.
But that same fire can burn too...
If you don't learn when to tame it.
MATA TERANG – The Clear Eye
• Insight
• Delay
• Calm
• Conscious action
It is the silence after the storm.
Or sometimes: the silence that prevents the storm.
MATA terang is the power to see before you act.
MATA MATA - Balance Brings Power
MATA gelap is fire without direction.
MATA terang is direction without fire.
NEOLUKU seeks the path in between.
The place where instinct and insight complement each other.
What does this mean for your tattoo?
At NEOLUKU, your design starts from within.
It tells your process, your balance.
• Where do you let the fire speak?
• Where do you choose clarity?
• What do you want to heal, and what do you want to celebrate?
Your tattoo marks the moment when you open both eyes.
It will not be a decoration. But a memory.
A Journey Inward
NEOLUKU stands for coming home to yourself.
For daring to look into your own darkness…
to find the light there.
