In whispers of waves and tales of the tide,
Tradition and progress walk side by side.
Echoes of the sea, where cultures entwine,
A dance of respect in nature's design.
ECHO
"In whispers of waves and tales of the tide"
BAJUA TRIBE
The theme, inspired by Indonesia and aligned with the core values of Sejauh Mata Memandang, intertwines culture, nature, and sustainability, emphasising circular fashion and mindful consumption. This concept delves into the Bajua tribe’s profound connection to the sea and coral reefs, which sustain their way of life and serve as essential spawning grounds for fish. As "sea nomads," the Bajua people embody the wisdom of living in harmony with nature, using sustainable practices that play a critical role in conserving these fragile marine ecosystems. However, the destruction of coral reefs, driven by environmental degradation and climate change, threatens not only the Bajua tribe's survival but also the rich biodiversity of Indonesia's seas.
