"The Territories of Humanity Provocation" is a set of two pieces of artwork dedicated to the power of the human mind it can create from nothing to spectacular something, such as music, the concept of religion, and the utilization of their music and religious edification onto the world in the span of civilization. The shifting that perception can achieve by letting music and religion be embodied and stay in their consciousness is massive - Take an example of Richard Wagner's talent in opera composing to the point he had created as well as fulfilled “Gesamtkunstwerk”, the concept of total work of art, while being an atheist with great knowledge of Christianity, just to serve his ideology of the most German spirit, is to idolize Aryanism. With the help of the golden age of opera advertisements and the power of political involvement such as Hitler as he had become a fan of Richard Wagner's opera messages, the way a human, such as Wagner, can provoke almost a chain of race and nation to believe the same underneath ideology as him just by music, combining with his propaganda, while taking advantage of the blind spot of religion that humanity has created for the religion they have been building on over the concept of mythology and theology. Many of Richard Wagner's opera plays have their own stand in the history of opera and until today, for his music is influential for the cognitive procession as well as remarkably fits in his target audience's cultural metanarrative, and most importantly it holds strong underlying provocative ideologies; "Parsifal" and "Lohengrin" are some of the plays where Aryanism can easily be noticed, realized and reflected on the German's "available evidence" that determined by the way the Germans observe their history's pattern when it comes to engaging with and/or confronting Semiticism in their society. In the body of this illustration, the first piece depicts the strong impact, influence and consonance that human music and human thoughts can link, harmonize and become one's symbiotic partner. The second piece depicts particularly the human power onto these two categories while they are in the territories of human provocation by using the imagery of Richar Wagner as an example of a man who had subtly stated that he was God and the God in his opera play where he laid his ideology and his Germanness navigation for his audiences. By using ink these illustrations which were accomplished with clear black and white with multiple links and connections and hidden imageries of the human's brain, nation symbol and God's face have picked on Wagner's vision, to represent the power a person can achieve and influence a person, community, race, or nation once they know how to enter and direct the territories of human provocation.

"Richard Wagner described himself as the "most German," the embodiment of the "German spirit", expressing the underneath ideology that later instrumentalizes political purposes. In addition, Wagner’s self-anointed Germanness was also a marketing strategy that soon built up his international enterprise, starting from Paris and then expanding out to the rest of Europe. Establishing distinctive features in the bustling crowd of French and Italian philosophical artistry, Wagner made his way into special prominence, bringing to the peak of all with him was the German profile.

Furthermore, the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk- “the totality of the work of art” of Richard Wagner’s philosophical ideology- had become the central focus and subsequently created the basis of this composition, with Secession ideal, symbolism, ornamental details, musical, and liberty."

"It was impressively obvious that Richard Wagner considered himself as a freethinker with specific criticism toward the church. Despite his certain/ensured fascination toward the figure of Jesus of Nazareth, yet there still existed his invective against Christianity. The German composer was tremendously famous for being an atheist, as much as the fact that always put tons of hidden messages within his seem-to-be Christian music drama."
