art studio/art direction /styling
My studio in Bali has an ongoing exploration of visual anthropology and aesthetic arts.
We emphasize the artisanal work of local artists, as a continual source of inspiration. The concept of impermanence has been the cornerstone of the studio, interpreting visual elements of Balinese culture with materials such as organic leaves, bamboo, rattan, and handmade paper, as fragile as the concept itself. Leveraging artisanal techniques and the use of sculpture, photography, print, and window dressing design features.
