Ten Clouds of creativity, 10th year anniversary! For AdFest is New Chapter.

The Gunungan: holy mountain or Kayon: forest, tree of life
Part of the art of Javanese puppetry (wayang)
Connotes sophisticated philosophy and meaning

Symbol of the opener of a new chapter and indicator of certain events
Also known as the symbol of the highest God, Sang Hyang Wenang
The objects in The Gunungan convey wise messages about the meaning of balance in life

Vector based digital art titled "Wukir Muluk Agegana Paksi"
Meaning: Mountain hovering high in soars like a bird.

Symbol reading using Sangkalan Memet Method
Sangkalan Memet: ancient Javanese symbol coding system from over 1200 years ago (700 Caka Year)
Messages conveyed through visuals
Visuals are read as a sentence regarding a certain event
Each word is being read backwards

Wukir :: gunung :: Mountain characterized 7
Muluk :: teranngkat - terbang :: Fly characterized 0
Anggegana :: menjulang :: Soar characterized 0
