Guardians of The Earth

Living our life in this erratic world today, we need to relinquish ourselves from it for a moment. Wayang is a traditional puppet from Indonesia. As a ‘shadow’, wayang itself is a reflection of human life. Once we shift our world into philosophical perspective of wayang, we will be able to see ourselves with veracity.

Through the perspective of wayang, we, ourselves, are the guardians of the earth. The three characters of wayang puppet: Bima, Semar, and Arjuna reflect our conscience. They play a major role to nurture the world we live in. Once they synergize, these characters can bring harmony that will reflect the world of innocence.
