A series of costumes\/images inspired by Indonesian nature. The hand-drawn batik design refers to selected motifs taken mainly from mythology and culture, but also directly from local nature. Each costume tells a different story, evoking:
\u2022 the flora of Indonesia, based on 17th-19th century plant atlases
\u2022 the symbolism of animals found in the mythology of East Borneo;
\u2022 masks and the presence of fauna and flora in traditional dance (the story of Prince Panji and Princess Candrzekirana);
\u2022 the \u201ctumpal kepala\u201d motif - the archaic source of an abstract motif that often appears in batik fabrics in Indonesia. Javanese batik patterns reflect cosmological concepts, emphasizing the balance of cosmic power among categories; based on the book \"Wearing The Cosmos\" by Robert Wessing.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The dyeing with ecological, plant-based pigments was carried out in cooperation with one of the most technologically advanced dyeing plants, BixaBatik in Yogyakarta.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The costumes are seen here not only as works of applied art, but rather as images with performative potential.<\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
