Uncovering Inner Worlds bridges Art and Social Science to create a reflection between two inner worlds:

  • the flow of sensations within the body, and
  • the flow of water within the Earth.

By depicting the sensations felt[1] exploring the veins of the Earth (cave diving),[2] Fabio wants to open a dialogue on how invisible dynamics affect our coexistence.

This journey will take place in the heart of marine biodiversity: the Coral Triangle, which bridges the Pacific and Indian Oceans.[3]

The mirroring of two inner worlds could raise awareness of the importance of preserving what is hidden. Today, only 1 in 3 people in Indonesia has access to drinking water,[4] yet 100 kg of plastic is being thrown into the ocean every second in Indonesia,[5] as if every inhabitant threw a plastic bottle into the sea every day.

Art and Social Science could help address water conservation in a country made up of hundreds of ethnic and linguistic groups.
