Symbolic of Earth's creative forces, lava stone reflects the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, the harmony between humans, nature, and the unseen. Formed from volcanic lava that has cooled and solidified, this sacred material is transformed through a carving and firing process by the shaman-artist. Alchemized at 1200 degrees Celsius, the stone returns to lava, then completes its transformation into Obsidian as it cools. In between stone and glass, Obsidian conveys the shamanic ability to read the future and observe personal truth.

By blending the ancient emblem of the totem with contemporary art and shamanic practices, STONE TOTEM becomes an "ancient relic" transmitting a piece of code from the future. Serving as a metaphor for change and evolution, the transformation of lava stone into Obsidian symbolizes the continuous evolution of ancient beliefs into contemporary expressions. It reflects the cyclical nature of culture and spirituality, highlighting the enduring relevance of ancient wisdom in the modern world. STONE TOTEM emerges as a timeless creation, embodying both the past and the future.

Acting as a conduit to deeper and unseen truths, these sculptures invite the viewer to contemplate the interconnectedness of humanity, spirituality, and the ever-evolving universe.
