Abstract

Introduction: Biomechanical reconstruction through ceramic creation can serve as a therapeutic method for healing the physical and psychological trauma of traffic accident victims. This study addresses three crucial research questions: the triggers of trauma, the types of ceramic art creation, and the relaxation outcomes achieved through ceramic creation as part of biomechanical reconstruction.


Objectives: This research unveils the concept of biomechanical reconstruction, ceramic creation, and achievements in addressing trauma among accident victims.


Methods: This study employs artistic research and quantitative methods with a case study approach. Data are obtained through observations, interviews, and document analysis.


Result:  The research findings indicate the existence of trauma triggers experienced by accident victims, which have implications for both physical and psychological disturbances. These physical and psychological disturbances can be addressed through the practice of ceramic art creation, undertaken through the stages of biomechanical reconstruction via the nerves of the hands


Conclusions: The research findings reveal the achievement of physical and psychological recovery through the creation of ceramic art. Another finding is that the process of biomechanical reconstruction serves as a therapeutic method utilizing clay as a medium for health. This is observable through graphical representations (X and Y axes) serving as indicators of the depth of trauma experienced by victims. The depth of trauma, as recorded in the data documents, where X=good and Y=4.5, demonstrates improved mental changes. This study provides recommendations that biomechanical reconstruction can offer solutions for broader societal issues of similar nature. The steps of biomechanical reconstruction in ceramic creation can be utilized as a method for healing trauma by therapists and psychologists through artistic endeavors.
