​

In Javanese philosophy, there is a saying called "Sajatine urip kuwi mung sawang sinawang" (The essence of life is to see and see). In the full version “Urip iku mung sawang sinawang, mula aja mung nyawang sing kesawang” (Life is to be seen and seen, never see things only from the outward appearance). 

This philosophy teaches human who tend to perceive things from visual perspective only without knowing deeper, that we’re not supposed to compare ourself with others, whilst not knowing the entire truth to their story. Always be grateful and nrimo (to have accepting attitude). Open opporunities to reflect on each other, emphatize, and putting ourself in other people’s shoe.

Designer obtained this philosophy while immersing silverware artistry in Jogjakarta and through personal spiritual journey. As a form of self-reflection also a medium to spread the message in the form of artwork, therefore she made “Wang Sinawang” brand.
