Muhammad Izdi’s current Master’s research explores Southeast Asian mythology, eschatology, memory, and digital avatars, examining how identity, grief, and belief are reshaped through spirituality, technology, and speculative forms.

Beginning as an excavation of the artistic self, the research initially questioned the formation of artistic identity and the defining concerns of his practice. It has since expanded into an investigation of invocation systems, particularly the parallels between ritual structures and game logic, where both create temporary spaces that suspend ordinary reality and invite participation, belief, and transformation.
