Structured and unstructured interviews Data were analyzed according to Saussure's semiotics and West Hill's folklore. The study found that tribal sculptures are folklore objects that reflect social dynamics. Play a role according to spiritualism beliefs This is consistent with Saussure's comparison of sculpture as a grammatical unit of meaning. The shapes and stories have full meaning when connected to the context of rituals, people, and communities, influencing “Creating contemporary art through anthropological processes,” which is consistent with West Hill saying “The folklore of local cultures has always been the driving force of contemporary art.” which is affected by changes in the culture of nation-states It preserves identity at the conceptual level. to cope with social change politics and economics Therefore, the tribe had to adapt. The existence of the sculpture thus preserves the diverse identities of the tribes. The sculptures and rituals bring out folk wisdom to express identity in various forms. Today's rituals are a visual representation of the tribes affected by the changes. As a result, the adjustments created new meanings and functions for the sculptures that overlapped traditional beliefs. Therefore, introducing sculpture into contemporary art must pay attention to the interpretive context.
