'The Sea is Barely Wrinkled' navigates a ‘time map’ connecting Indonesia’s colonial past, present ecological challenges, and local mythology. Inspired by the Batavia shipwreck tragedy of 1628, the exhibition highlights the enduring colonial legacy alongside urgent environmental issues in Jakarta.

It ultimately foregrounds Indonesian mythological figures such as Dewi Sri and Nyai Roro Kidul as a counter-narrative to the anthropocentric colonial paradigm. Imazu blurs the line between history, myth, and fiction through this exhibition, inviting reflection on humanity’s entanglement with layered history, nature, and time.
