However, nowadays, amid human action, we face the crisis of the real and virtual worlds. On the one hand, humans are now facing crisis conditions on a world scale, both due to war and

economic downturn and to the destruction of nature and ecological balance. On the other hand, humans are now accustomed to living in a world of self-actualization with gadgets and the institutions of digital life, including their attachment to artificial intelligence. 

Realizing this, Suanjaya Kencut sees that in concrete self-actualization, humans need a social circle while enjoying what is around them. This is what motivates humans to take walks to enjoy nature, whether they are alone or with their family. 

By traveling, humans realize that it is not enough to think or think, but also to act or act to actualize themselves. By traveling, humans become grateful for life and find the key to happiness. 

People who find themselves in a real-world crisis may attempt to navigate through cyberspace. Vice versa, humans who have been trapped in the virtual world for too long should start preparing themselves to pick up and immerse themselves in the real world. This paradoxical dilemma has always overshadowed the need to travel. 

In this solo exhibition, artist Suanjaya Kencut presents the theme “I TRIP THEREFORE I AM,” meaning that by traveling, humans realize their true existence, whether alone, with humans, or with animals. Through a selection of his works, Suanjaya Kencut tries to reflect the human need for self-actualization with his surroundings and nature. 

With his signature character of landscape, Suanjaya Kencut also invites the public into a realistic picture approach in order to remind them of the importance of travel/trips around nature in the world.

In addition, the works in “I Trip Therefore I Am” also want to adapt to what is happening in

humans today, the need to actualize themselves with the surrounding nature and the world

around them. Thus, Suanjaya Kencut’s artworks want to reassure that humans can continue to strive for life in the midst of real and virtual world crises.
