"Guardian II" is part of a series of black and white photographs by ManButur Suantara exploring Water.
When one hears ‘Water’, immediately our minds go to all the things that are sensory and visual. We think of the colour blue and we associate the feeling ‘wet’. Around us, Water is ocean, lake, rain, and dew. In feelings, we may associate coolness, wetness, thirst, and by association dryness. In ManButur’s Water series, its most interesting that those associations are the least pronounced.
We are inadvertently guided to experience Water, in a different way. Here, Water is present, but as a quiet supporting role. A presence that does not scream out. Yet, its presence transports us to a place quite different. Here, Water have merged together the earth and the sky. +
Mountain in Black and White by ManButur Suantara in black and white is a spotlight on a collection of works by Nyoman ManButur Suantara. Featuring the mountains of our islands. What meaning is there in the word 'Mountain'. What feelings do we feel when seeing 'Mountain'? And what thoughts do we have when we stand upon a 'Mountain'?
"From the ancient civilisation until now in parts of the world Mountain still exists. Being one of the sources of energy. In traditional cultures the mountain holds a significant place in the lives of the community." ~ManButur Suantara +
'Melodious Urban' is a new work by ManButur Suantara in response to the theme 'World Without Sound' exhibition Sawidji Gallery.
Do we relate to noise as a disturbance? Does quiet mean peace?
Capturing the hustle and bustle of Gajah Mada Street Denpasar, the image was made with multiple exposure techniques. With a combination of 9 images to become one single image. Then there are 25 of these images made up of 9 each.
For some people who live on this busy street, the noise is normal for them. To see the loud exhausts of cars and motorbikes and the horns from traffic 24 hours a day. However, when I ask some people who live there, they don't say it is noisy. they say it is normal.
It seems like they are conditioned to the environment and are on good terms with the noise. By creating this image I am trying to see the world inverted. To be in this activity and relate to the silence and quiet that some people seem to find there. +

Trees in Black and White by ManButur Suantara. The beauty and poetic vision of ManButur in a series of captures across the Indonesian landscapes. What do you feel when you see a trees’ shadow? When you look upon their reflections and silhouettes. There is something intrinsically human about them.
A Trees’ Reflection
Perhaps you can say, it may be that it is the other way around. There is something intrinsically tree like about human beings. Why we see our own reflection in the Earth’s oldest children. For of the oldest living things on this Earth, trees are amongst them. They carry the memories and earths’ blood in their veins.
There is this basic truth that trees bring life to others. From the time they are a seed, to their stems and flowers, there is no waste. From the beginning to the end of their life, they are givers to the world.

Photography by ManButur Suantara that explores Macro photography, specifically only using natural light in natural environments with no staging.
The dictionary definition of Macro Photography is simply taking a picture extremely close up, bigger than life-size.
Macro photography is all about showcasing a subject larger than it is in real life — an extreme close-up of something small. A full-frame insect in a five-by-seven-inch photo and a four-inch product shot of a cornflake go well above life-size: both are examples of macro photography. - +

"My memories of the Legong dance.. growing up I see a lot of paintings of a dancer in costume. I tried to create a photograph of the dance that is like a painting.. but still has the spirit and movement of the dance.." ~Nyoman ‘Butur’ Suantara
Excerpt from article "Legong Rhapsody, a Dance Through Time" by Dewi Dian Reich.
We have a series of works by ManButur Suantara that singularly looks at one particular dance. The Legong Dance of Bali, 'Tari Legong Bali'. Balinese culture is full of beauty in so many respects. Wherever you turn you will find something rich and sumptuous in colour and also mystery. Its rituals and ceremony are profoundly deep. It draws the attention of the world. This is not the first time the dances of Bali is the object of art. Images depicting our culture is saturating mainstream media due to its power of influence towards a profitable industry. Tourism.
On the positive side this means the beauty of Balinese culture is recognised by many. I mention this because I wish to draw attention to something that might be overlooked. There is something really special to reflect on here that would be remiss not to point out. Purely for our artistic discussion. As a series in photography there are interesting aspects that we can learn from.

This ritual is known as Ter-Teran held in the village of Jasri in Karangasem Regency Bali. This ritual is held to keep the evil spirits away so that the silent day of Nyepi will be able to pass peacefully, quietly and with blessing...
Ter Teran is held only once every two years. and this is spontaneous without staging or planning. In other villages, this type of fire war enactment is ritualised whereas the process is a little bit more free-flowing, here in Ter Teran in Jasri. The atmosphere is truly mystical. It is not something planned or scripted. There are not many tourists as this is not a common attraction. There is a wildness about it. It does not look like a demonstration set up to cater to an audience. The sacred energy of this ritual still feels very strong. +

The results of the Ancova analysis showed no difference in blood pressure results after each intervention was given to the elderly (p value 0.244>0.05 for systole dan p value 0.738>0.05 for diastole).
