Tri Hita Karana is the theme of my artwork(s). Cross, or the meetings of vertical and horizontal line, is the form of the artwork(s). This chosen theme is based on Balinesse society that teaches how important it is to manage the harmonization in relationship with Hyang the Creator, every living thing He created and environment. I hope Tri Hita Karana’s meaning could be accepted as a basic principle in taking care of the universe. Even though the destruction of the world has begun and seemingly under control, such as global warming for example. My artworks (always) have social missions considering the messages I wanted to present to the audience of it.
