Citra Sasmita continues to draw on elements of traditional Balinese culture and literature to reimagine female narratives in society. Her new body of work deliberately casts women as pioneers through various symbolic representations, where their energy forms the foundation of the universe. Women are depicted to control fire, which signifies agricultural advancements, power and re-production; while snakes are a reference to knowledge and patriarchy, where knowledge is handed down to their daughters and sisters. The works are done in traditional kamasan style featuring a traditional border used in Hindu scriptures, which has been passed down over five generations. Through these elaborate scenes of genesis that exemplify teamwork and solidarity in sisterhood, Sasmita subverts the typical subordinate position women are designated in history.
