Tisna Sanjaya

 
 

Air Kaki Ibuku (Water from my Mother's Feet]), 1996
Wood, bamboo, water, glass bottle, and Indonesian national flag

Tisna Sanjaya is one of the few Indonesian artists who make direct reference to his Muslim faith, its spirituality, rituals, and acts of devotion. These are often directly articulated in his work, both to admonish and to help heal human transgressions against humanity itself.
