Sacred Mimicry 02

“My work is based on my observations on different aspects of the human experience in general. In this instance, amongst a montage of over 2600 images, each a series and non-duplicated images of my work. I impose the image of the Wayang Wong Mask. I responded to the original collage with the mask of Wayang Wong to bring attention to a different observation.

Throughout the process of Human Imprints and Sacred Mimicry, I have included images that I’ve captured of events, places, and rituals that encompass our existence here in Bali. When I look at this from a distance. I think, as human beings whether consciously or subconsciously, our actions and behaviours are always influenced by the environment. This phenomenon occurs in nature.. mimicry. We learn the skills to mimic to fit the required roles that are part of our human responsibilities.” ~ ManButur
