Kala Api is the first series of sculptures by Made Kaek where his creatures step out of the canvas and join the world in Manus, a Conscious Journey. Manus, a Sawidji Collaborative Exhibition featuring five artists, explores the question ‘What makes us human?’

These became his much loved and known ‘cryptic creatures’.
