"Sudanta" (सूदन्त), a Sanskrit term meaning "shining" or "clean," embodies a deeper significance often associated with purity and clarity. In a broader context, it symbolizes cleanliness and radiance, much like the illuminating rays of the sun. This essence of purity and luminosity resonates profoundly with the interconnectedness and balance emphasized in Javanese philosophy, particularly in the symbolism of "Banyu." Water, in Javanese tradition, signifies not only physical purification but also spiritual cleansing, reflecting Lievik's pursuit of harmony and equilibrium in all aspects of life.
Drawing inspiration from the fluidity of water and the intricate motif of Pamor Wos Wutah, Lievik sought to capture these harmonious elements in artistic endeavors. Just as water flows organically, Lievik's creations embody fluid lines that seamlessly interact with the motif's rhythm, echoing the interconnectedness and balance inherent in nature.
Moreover, the symbolism of Wos Wutah or Beras Wutah in the keris pamor tradition adds layers of meaning to Lievik's work. Signifying spilled rice, Wos Wutah represents abundance and prosperity, echoing the Javanese philosophy of "Gemah Ripah Loh Jinawi." This philosophy underscores the importance of tranquility and abundance in life, serving as a guiding principle for Lievik in navigating the complexities of existence.
In the journey of married life, the symbolism of Wos Wutah serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of trust and the need for vigilance. Just as spilled rice cannot be fully restored, the erosion of trust can irreversibly diminish the foundation of a relationship. Hence, it is imperative for Lievik to safeguard against the spilling of trust, fostering an environment of mutual respect and understanding.
In essence, the concept of "Sudanta" encapsulates the purity and luminosity that permeates through life's interconnected tapestry, echoing the fluidity and balance found in water and the rich symbolism of Javanese philosophy. Through artistic expression, Lievik endeavors to evoke these harmonious elements, inviting viewers to reflect on the profound interconnectedness of existence and the pursuit of balance and purity in their own journeys.
