The sculpture is a testament to the harmonious union of artistic expression and environ- mental consciousness, crafted by skilled artisans who understand the inherent value of sus- tainable materials. The Gunungan motif represents the sacred mountain and symbolizes the cycle of life. Each curve and contour of the sculpture’s form is meticulously carved, capturing the essence of the Gunungan with precision and reverence. The sculpture’s eco-conscious creation and sustainable materials remind us of our responsibility to the environment and the potential for artistic expression to contribute to a greener future. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this bamboo sculpture carries a more profound message, encouraging us to reflect on our relationship with the environment and prompting us to seek innovative ways to preserve our planet’s resources while celebrating our diverse cultural heritage.
