This painting gathers the symbols of earth and sky, weaving Turkish tradition with Balinese mantra. At the center, a duck glides gracefully between water and land, carrying the soul’s journey of balance and adaptability. The pomegranate bursts open, a vessel of abundance, fertility, and unity, while flowers bloom in devotion — tulips, roses, and blossoms of the imagination — each a fleeting fragrance of divine beauty and love. From hidden depths, the lotus rises in purity, a sign of rebirth and enlightenment, while the blue sapphire gleams with wisdom and protective light. The lemon, sharp and golden, speaks of health, refinement, and the bittersweet taste of life.
Above, the crescent moon casts its guiding glow, a symbol of divine protection, renewal, and the eternal cycles of life. Around it, stars glitter like ancestral lights, guardians of truth and harmony, connecting earth’s abundance with the heavens. Together, they crown the earthly garden with cosmic blessing.
Encircling these forms are mantras in Aksara Bali, whispering sacred wishes:
• śāntiḥ prema ca sadā bhavatu — May there always be love and peace.
• samāñjasi me jāri mayā bhava — May we live together in harmony as one.
• Om hyang kamajaya, hyang ratih — Om, Lord Kamajaya and Lady Ratih,
• mugi rahayu ring katresnan — may there be blessings in love,
• ring tresna lan setia — in affection and loyalty.
• a dedication, grounding the universal in the personal.
Together, the earthly symbols and celestial guardians create a tapestry of love, peace, fertility, purity, wisdom, harmony, and eternal blessing, a union of Turkish and Balinese heritage where moon and stars watch over the garden of life.
