At the entrance of Nuanu Creative City in Tabanan, Bali, stand two breathtaking giant sculptures — The Earth Sentinels. This is one of the representative works by South African artist Daniel Popper, blending nature, mythology, and projection mapping, making it one of Bali’s most symbolic art landmarks.
🗿 Fusion of Art and Nature: Sculpture Design and Symbolism
These two sculptures, standing 14 meters (approximately 45 feet) tall, are made of steel structures, glass fiber reinforced concrete, and plant elements, depicting a human form intertwined with nature. Trees and vines grow from the shoulders and necks of the sculptures, symbolizing the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, reminding us of our responsibility to protect the Earth.
🌌 Nighttime Projection Mapping: An Immersive Experience
When night falls, The Earth Sentinels come to life through projection mapping technology by DELIVERED Creative Studio, showcasing the cycle and transformation of life. This visual performance combines computer graphics and artificial intelligence, presenting dreamlike light and shadow changes on the sculptures, offering an immersive artistic experience.
