Description
Spiritual Reflection by Delo.
Spiritual Reflection,. the existence of the tree is the main source of ideas in this collection of works of art. This subject matter may be interpreted broadly. Trees are not only considered to have an important role for human life, but also for the entire universe.
The manifestation of the spiritual values of trees is often shown visually through a ‘Poleng’ or Checkered cloth tied to certain trees.
The significance of the ‘Poleng’ cloth in the spiritual life of Balinese people is expressed (among other things) through works entitled “Spiritual Relaxation” and “Anugerah Laut”. In both works, a tree wrapped in poleng cloth is shown as the main subject carrying the central meaning. Other elements such as temple buildings and activities of daily living are supporting themes to strengthen this meaning.
Spiritual Reflection is part of ‘Inauguration of Trees‘ Exhibition February 2022 Sawidji Gallery
