In this creation, I present a profound concept that integrates the Javanese philosophy of Sedulur Papat, which signifies the presence of four fundamental elements within our bodies, with elements from ancient Egyptian and Mayan beliefs. Drawing inspiration from the ancient Egyptians, who believed that the heavens were upheld by four pillars emerging from the Earth, and referencing the sculptured Dendera zodiac—a renowned Egyptian bas-relief featuring depictions of Taurus and Libra—I evoke the significance of the number four in relation to the representation of women. Similarly, in the Mayan civilization, there was a belief that four entities held the celestial skies. This parallel resonates with the Javanese concept of Sedulur Papat, which symbolizes the interconnectedness of four essential elements within each human being. Guided by various philosophies, the Javanese seek to attain perfection in life, and one such philosophy is Sedulur Papat Limo Pancer. This guiding principle encourages individuals to appreciate and regulate their emotions, thereby effectively dealing with daily challenges. Sedulur Papat represents the four elemental aspects within us, while Limo Pancer symbolizes humanity itself, exerting control over these elements. Thus, by integrating the Javanese concept of Sedulur Papat with the ancient Egyptian belief in four pillars supporting the heavens and the Mayan belief in four entities upholding the celestial skies, we discover a harmonious connection that underscores the universal recognition of the significance of the number four and its influence on our human experience.

“Making art is one way to desert the illusions of the ego and through it, I aim at being a neutral mirror that connects people with themselves.” - Talitha Maranila, 2022. Born and raised in Jakarta, Talitha went on to pursue her studies at Lasalle College International. Half of her childhood in the 90s was spent with her grandfather, a doctor who instilled in her a strong interest in biology and science. Her natural inclination brought her to the fine arts, but his influence is still very present throughout her body of work. Talitha’s aspiration is to infuse and project aspects of science and spirituality through her art. She considers her creative work to be a manifestation of her spirituality. She explores the possible worlds we could create through the help of science and art, and what each discipline could do to reflect society’s issues and perhaps affect political responses. Having engaged with diverse religions and cultures, her work is inspired by their visual symbols and cues -- yet rearranges them into new, conceptually layered installations. The choice of materials is thoroughly calculated and her process is intuitively ritualistic, but sometimes she finds herself in avenues of the unexpected; adding an ironic twist to familiar scenes and provoking the spectator to be new and perhaps unexplored territories. Her arrangements are schematic and invite the viewer to leave certainty and move into a space of speculation. She relies on our innate desires for beauty, poetics, and seduction. Being an artist for Talitha is a method of existence. She believes that being able to mature as an artist isn’t possible without maturing first as a person. Seeing her art as an extension and embodiment of herself, she views art not only as a medium to self-reflect, she utilizes art as a medium to connect with her inner spirit as she works in a very intuitive manner in the process of creation, deeply diving into her subconscious. Themes of unity, oneness, wholeness and the idea of duality is an omnipresent theme in her life that is reflected in her work. You can see the resemblance of nature from the organic shape of her sculpture, the brush strokes in her painting, and the light to reconstruct our perspectives of reality. Talitha has showcased her works in Switzerland, Berlin and had several private commissioned projects from Jakarta, magelang and Singapore.
