Chasing Aesthetics

It is not always raining in Bali … But the sculptures of Dalpra still shine … and sometimes reflect the shape of raindrops discovered again on that magnificent island … The raindrops slide down the sleek surface … The drops absorb abundant reflections of ethnic plants and the shapes of mountains. But they become deformed before they reach the earth. Now the reshaped puddle replicates the form of the object standing above, albeit in a rather distorted way. Here its bright blue metal colour mingles with the still ominous blue sky. The mountain, repeating the line of the breasts, interposes the mirrored image inside. The monsoon season appeared in beautiful Bali and covered all the landscapes with tropical rain. It also dared to trace the strangers— sculptures by an artist who created them here.
