The artwork of Yuma Taru, titled Sea·Rise and River·Flow reflects recent studies and observations on issues shared by Austronesian communities, particularly the material culture of mollusks found in marine and river environments, investigating their intricate narratives that interlace with the Austronesian peoples. The artist’s ambitious 50-year creative plan, centered on weaving and chanting, reveals an acute sensitivity to natural transformations and a profound veneration for mountain and marine ecosystems, the very cradles of life.
