In Focus: Galuh Anindita, ‘The Body Is A Temple, The Memory Is The Sea’ (2025) at White Cube Hong Kong
With this work, Galuh Anindita continues her longstanding dialogue with Kanjeng Ratu Kidul, the Queen of the South Sea from Javanese mythology.
Referencing ‘rong telu’ – a cabinet for a soul between realms – within this traditional three-tiered structure, Galuh places amulets mapped to Javanese chakra points and to soil, fire and air, which shape the body through acts of protection and surrender, as both armour and threshold.
View Galuh’s work in ‘Thresholds’ at White Cube Hong Kong until 10 January 2026.
