Watercolor Painting of a Boat at Pulau Ketam, Malaysia

Pulau Ketam (Crab Island 🦀 ) is one of the favorite places for artists - many interesting scenes to paint!

During yesterday's art stream on YouTube, I painted this typical boat based on a photo I took at Pulau Ketam. Reference photo on Ko-fi and the full stream is on my YT!

COAST OF THE GOD-IN-PIECES

A broken god, abandoned dogs, two lovers forever staring at each other across a broken bridge.

23/1 - 29/1 #dungeon23

Islands and coastal settlements south of the city of Queen's Rest. The title lies---the God-In-Pieces' pieces I'll probably get around to cataloguing later.

Really struggled with this. Knew I wanted it to be the geography south of Queen's Rest, but didn't really have any direction beyond: "Oh I hope this will look nice."

The lack of direction meant I had to make up a lot of the details after I'd drawn them. This is why Aima & Malak's deal is represented so poorly? Theirs is a Tragic Love Story (my go-to, hur hur), but because it isn't told visually, I didn't have much space to tell it at all.

The idea:

Aima is a priestess of Garika;

Aima and Malak meet on the land-bridge between the islands to make love;

Garika gets jealous and sends lightning to smash the bridge;

The lovers stand there, staring across at each other, and their longing turns them to stone.

Also: these locations are mostly hooks for other things: Garika's Temple and the poppy plantation are adjuncts of Queen's Rest; the Star Fort is related to Mis-Sur wanting her husband back; Garika's palace and God-In-Pieces will be entries elsewhere. I feel a bit bad about this.

(For what it's worth: I do think the map looks okay. not super legible, so not super useful in that regard, but it has a nice view-from-out-of-an-airplane-window look, all tiny specks, which I enjoy!)

Dog Island is a reference to the practice (by Pulau Ketam most famously, but I believe there were examples in Penang and elsewhere as well) of folks dumping stray dogs on mangrove islands. Because people are monsters.

Taman Nasional Teluk Cenderawasih yang menjadi rumah bagi biota bawah laut dan fauna lainnya ini, terletak di antara tiga kabupaten di Papua Barat. Yaitu Kabupaten Manokrawi Selatan, Kabupaten Teluk Wondama dan Kabupaten Nabire. Hebatnya lagi, Taman Nasional yang satu ini merupakan salah satu taman nasional terbesar di Indonesia. Luasnya hampir menyentuh 1,5 juta ha, dengan sebagian besar berupa perairan. Tak heran, menjadi rumah bagi berbagai ekosistem makhluk hidup, juga potensi flora dan fauna yang masih dalam tahapan identifikasi. Secara resmi Taman Nasional Teluk Cenderawasih terbentuk sekitar 18 tahun lalu melalui Surat Keputusan Menteri Kehutanan No. 8009/Kpts-II/2002 pada tanggal 29 Agustus 2002. Sejak saat itu, perlahan tapi pasti, kawasan konservasi tersebut mulai menjadi destinasi wisata alternatif bagi wisatawan lokal. Hiu Paus di TN Teluk Cenderawasih Sebagai taman nasional dengan wilayah perairan terluas di Indonesia, menjadikannya sebagai habitat nyaman bagi berbagai flora dan fauna, baik yang sudah teridentifkasi maupun yang belum. Salah satu yang menjadi banyak incaran wisatawan yakni, kehadiran Hiu Paus yang termasuk satwa langka.

Mangrove Village

Probes the Significance of the Mangrove To The Village From a Cultural Perspective

Dessau Institute of Architecture Masters Programme

Studio Peter Ruge - #0000FF- Too Little, Too Much

Ng Ji Yann -  Mangrove Village

A village with mangrove forests, Pulau Ketam, is constructed on swampy foundations. At the same time, past neglect of mangroves, worsened by climate change and rising sea levels, has resulted in geological subsidence of the rate of over 15cm per year. Despite widespread neglect, the mangrove forest is central to the survival of this capital. Extending beyond this ecological argument, the thesis probes the significance of the mangrove to the village from a cultural perspective.

Instead, The Mangrove Village proposes a less economically focused agency, restructuring the management of mangrove forests and swampy lands. The village will be the new host of the International Arts Festival where public diplomacy is celebrated through mangroves as a modality of soft-power – one that is symbolic, cultural, influential, embodied and intimate.

Expanding the understanding of Pulau Ketam’s material and physical mangrove foundations, it focuses on the popular Pulau Ketam exports derived from the mangrove forest – Dry Seafood, Teochew Opera, Traditional Fisher Boat Factory. These items constitute forms of a soft element and act as familiar Pulau Ketam cultural symbols.

Mangroves will cease to be disregarded and mistreated. It will no longer be hastily removed and denigrated. Instead, it will become the primary social village for public diplomacy, a new type of economy, an archipelagic currency, one that grows and matures, evolving at different stages into various softpowers. The cultivation of cuisine, culture and crafts evolving from the maturing mangroves will become the core mechanism that elevates Pulau Ketam’s progress, protecting Pulau Ketam’s villgers and establishing credibility for the dawn of the new village. Yes, this seems superficial. Yes, this seems revolutionary. Yes, this will take time and lots of hard work to achieve.

In summary, the graphic narrative board begins with a couple of visitors from significant capital cities traveling to Pulau Ketam for an Eco-Tourism weekend gateawy. In this narrative, the attraction of Pulau Ketam is different to previous predecessors, with an emphasis on local culture and mangrove ecosystem, which will be main key point attractions of Pulau Ketam.
