ᝰ THE STORY
The sacred Rejang dance unfolds in the heart of Tenganan, an ancient Balinese village where time-honored traditions remain unbroken. Draped in the rare Geringsing fabric—Tenganan’s legendary double ikat textile—the dancers move with quiet grace, their hair adorned with delicate gold flowers that catch the dim light.
Traditionally, Rejang is a dance of purification, an offering to cleanse the village of malevolent spirits and restore harmony. Accompanied by the mesmerizing resonance of a gamelan orchestra, the dancers glide through the village in ritual procession, their movements both solemn and entrancing. The ceremony unfolds over several hours, punctuated by rhythmic pauses, as devotion and endurance merge into a timeless expression of Balinese spirituality.
Captured in a monochromatic mood at 8 p.m., Impetus is bathed in an ethereal glow, the only light source streaming from behind the dancers. Shadows stretch and merge, intensifying the mystical aura of the ritual. That night, the ceremony continued late into the evening, ending only at 10 p.m., leaving behind an air thick with reverence, music, and the unseen energy of a tradition carried through generations.

Collector's Limited Edition of 15 copies worldwide.
Limited to 15 editions worldwide, each photograph is processed in Germany on Fujiflex Crystal Archive Paper, one of the world's finest professional photographic papers.
Unlike inkjet printing, each image is laser-exposed onto silver halide photographic paper and chemically developed using a traditional chromogenic process. The ultra-high-gloss polyester surface delivers extraordinary sharpness, exceptional tonal depth and a remarkable three-dimensional appearance. Under proper lighting, microscopic crystals within the emulsion create an exceptional sense of depth, giving the photograph an almost backlit presence that is unlike conventional photographic prints.
Each artwork is individually numbered and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, signed, dated and embossed by the artist. The certificate also records the provenance of every edition, documenting where each of the fifteen prints has found its permanent home.
The artist proposes 15 copies, each available in the following sizes:
• 90 x 60 cm | 36 x 24”
• 150 x 100 cm | 60 x 40”
