​𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 & 𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 are part of the 𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, together, they formed a site specific installation art to create an immersive space. 

 

𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 is inspired by the Takeo Town's ancient sacred Camphor Trees (3000 years old), forests and mountains where priests and monks used to train around this vicinity. Over the millennia, the locals continue this ongoing coexistence relationship between nature, human and the divine, become their cultural heritage of everyday life. This installation aims to create an imaginary perceptual space that blurs the boundaries between this relationship.

​

𝗦𝗸𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 is a fusion of traditional Southeast Asia shadow puppetry and Japanese Shoji Art, infused with a modern storyboard approach. This artwork depicts legendary narratives of the Sky Island, integrating Japanese utilitarian and aesthetic elements with Southeast Asian puppetry's illustrative and shadow play techniques. Designed to be versatile, it can transform into a Shoji screen, interacting harmoniously with its environment. The artwork adapts to changes in lighting and surroundings, offering viewers an ever-evolving visual narrative that resonates with cultural traditions and contemporary storytelling.
