Child of Sarong

Inspired by the vibrant Street Art scene in the UK, this piece reimagines it through the lens of traditional hand-drawn batik, a wax resist dyeing technique. At the heart of the artwork is a girl adorned in a batik sarong, styled as "si ayu," meaning beautiful girl. The sarong holds deep symbolic meaning in Malaysia, where it has been a staple garment for centuries, often adorned with intricate batik patterns.

The painting also features iconic railway arches, set against a backdrop of a picturesque canal teeming with wild daffodils—flowers that bloom abundantly, especially in spring.

By blending these elements, the piece celebrates multiculturalism and diversity, merging the traditions and heritage of both cultures in a harmonious exchange that enhances and supports each other.

This artpiece is made using traditional Malaysian batik technique with wax and painted with Procion MX dye on 100% cotton fabric.
