"You never enjoy the world aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars: and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are everyone sole heirs as well as you." Thomas Traherne, Centuries of Meditations 1908.

EPHEMERAL brings together the work of kaleidescopio.studio showcasing raw terracotta busts and ornamental crowns and headpieces. All created from familiar and natural materials often found in Balinese rituals and ceremony. The pieces are reflective, serene and meditative while being decorative and visually beautiful.

Kaleidoscopio.studio has an ongoing exploration of visual anthropology and aesthetic arts. They emphasize the artisanal work of local artists, a continual source of inspiration. The concept of ephemerality has been the cornerstone for the studio, interpreting visual elements of Balinese culture with materials such as organic leaves, bamboo, rattan and handmade paper, as fragile as the concept itself. Leveraging artisanal  techniques and the use of sculpture, photography, print and window dressing design features.
