Inspired by life lesson of Sudhanshu from Indonesia, "Be a friend. Always."
The artist EorG shares about the work, "I used shadow and orientation as the key elements. Here, Sudhanshu is with his friend, regretting what if it were... and probably wished if he could turn back the time. So I took 'turn back', 'time', 'regret' and the origin of the country, 'Indonesia' as the keyword. When the reality is turned upside down below, and the regret with wish and sadness as the focal point. Using Batik Slobog as a symbol of sadness. While inside the batik pattern, there is time, which sadly is gone in reality."

World Wisdom Map is a unique project that documents the life lesson and story of people from each of the 195 countries in the world. The collation and exhibition of human wisdom is presented on a digital, artistic and interactive world map. The data has also been designed into education and art resources. This consciousness project combines visual, and wisdom anthropology that exists in the world and further sparks awareness about the diversity of lifestyles, as well as the coping mechanism that people employ to create a meaningful life. Using the tool of technology, it is easier to connect and exchange information to ignite hope and global participation in an unbiased and creative way.
World Wisdom Map is conceptualised by Project FUEL, in association with Singapore International Foundation.
