October 2023 - Commissioned by Waterbom for the park’s 30th Anniversary in 2023, this sculpture represents Waterbom’s relationship with nature and the park’s observance of the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana (the 3 ways to happiness & harmony).

Balinese artist, Udianata has interpreted the theme of the ‘Harmony of the Elements’ and crafted a bamboo artwork incorporating 4 organic shapes to capture the distinct characteristics of each of the elements.

EARTH is depicted as unwavering and steadfast, symbolising stability and solidity within the overall composition.

AIR is conveyed through its irregular motions, evoking a sense of its dynamic presence.

WATER cascades gracefully downward in the composition, offering a tactile experience.

FIRE is dynamic and dramatic on the top of the piece, with its upward movement drawing the viewer’s attention.

I Gusti Ngurah Udianata, is a Balinese artist from Tampaksiring, Gianyar. Known for his mastery in crafting unique bamboo sculptures, Udianata is deeply inspired by his Balinese heritage, and skillfully weaves gods, mythical characters and animals from bamboo, illuminating ancient tales through his intricate creations.

You can see Udianata’s artwork in person at the park, at the entry to Oasis Gardens area until 31 Dec 2023.
