Water is one of the elements that forms life. The statue of Dewi Laksmi at Belahan Temple, which emits water, is believed to grant wishes. In this context, the wishes refer to conservative efforts to address the shrinking condition of environmental areas, particularly forests, which are increasingly diminishing due to human-caused chaos. This is represented by the spontaneous dominance of charcoal strokes. There is a need for personal awareness to balance utilizing nature and caring for it to achieve harmony.
about the artist
Galang Aji Pratama
My name is Galang Aji Pratama and I am an artist from Banyuwangi, East Java, inspired by its rich traditions and culture. Influenced by Basuki Abdullah and Liu Yuan Shou, my work combines naturalistic themes with expressive brushstrokes. My art explores human connections, nature, and spirituality, rooted in Javanese iconography and cultural philosophy. I aspire to create meaningful works, inspire others, and host a multi-generational exhibition in my hometown.
