"In the world that rapidly changing, Indonesian people are starting to leave the rich of their culture, especially in the Central Java, moving out to hedonism lifestyle. Green areas tend to be cleared by the necessity of residential construction that caused environmental harm.

The name of the forest, Kencana Aji, in Javanese means majestic power, rich gold, as forest is our nature that fulfill our necessity as a human in all of aspect of life.

Three huts in the painting urges the audience to invite frugal living and minimalism. Three small arrangement of stone buildings (pura) as place of worship towards Javanese belief. The last of the least, the dense forest with iconic flying subjects bring out a message to go back to preserve our green environment and the rich of Javanese culture as one of our basic of our life."
