It incorporates elements from the Dewi Sri motives into mortise arrangements, including motifs of rice stalks, flowers, fertility symbols, and ‘Mega Mendung’ motifs. The artist meticulously crafted the sculpture to reflect Indonesia’s cultural heritage and mythological narratives. The artist’s choice of materials and techniques is crucial in conveying the desired aesthetic and symbolic meaning. The sculpture invites viewers to connect with Indonesia’s cultural heritage and mythology while celebrating nature’s abundance, fertility, and the cy- clical rhythms of life.
