The project "You are a master at capturing my desire and affection" addresses timeless and universal union between two supreme deities, the female and the male. The topic is inspired by different aspects of Indonesian reality: symbolic understanding of nature, mythology and beliefs (Dewi Sri, meaning of gunungan), traditional dance (Panji story), old literature (Wanban Wideya. A Javanese Panji Romance; Arjunawiwaha, The marriage of Arjuna of Mpu Kanwa; Mpu Monaguna's Sumanasantaka) and ancient architecture. The project will unfold on the basis of research about various aspects of present and ancient life in Indonesia, mostly in Central Java – in Yogyakarta. The most important visual and narrative threads will form the basis of the final outcome: a multi-media exhibition.
