Installation 2020
An installation of eleven batik pieces, inspired by the origins of batik, where symbols and colors represent the dreams or powers of the wearer. The method, developed in a batik workshop, parallels darkroom printing but unfolds at a slower pace. Colors develop in (sun)light, and once revealed and fixed, cannot be altered. Working “in the dark” requires reliance on multiple senses, with weather playing a significant role—sunlight intensity affects color strength, while rain influences drying time and work rhythm.
