Faisal's sculpture present new constructions (a kind of allegory) of daily objects that are familiar to us and whose form are familiar to us and whose forms are generally fixed. In these constructions, Faisal Processes the form of the objects, creating new but without leafing originally forms entirely. Faisal seems to be dispensing with the original function of the objects, so much so that eventually seem to be viewing st the object that fuctions ntirely as the thing itself. Faisal, however, still makes use of the original material of the object (wood for chair, metal for scissors, etc). Faisal's attitude seems to hint at his discontent regarding industrially-made object and those that himself consuming. On the other hand, Faisal also discloses the illusory dimensions that the object have, situating them as ambiguous objects, especially when their original functions havelong been taken for granted. Faisal seems to bring the objects te their furthest boundary; a practice that goe beyond the preceding values of accuracy. The functional object, therefore, turn to be a mere object, the thing itself, and creates a unique visual sensations. Faisal's fantasy regarding the objects is reflective of his effort to leave a fixed system of values that has bounded the objects. Faisal's works seem to present us with the meaning of practice that secularises secular objects.[Aminudin TH Siregar for SURVEY2, EDWIN'S Gallery Jakarta]
