If you see Indonesiaku, then wastra Indonesia section in my blog, you'll get more exposure on that :)
Starting from UNESCO-intangible-heritage Batik, to handmade and woven-with-love Tenun and Songket from various parts of Indonesia, I love them all.
I am such a huge faaan :).
To me, they are more than just a piece of cloth with vibrant colors and vivid patterns.
They represent the beauty of my ancestors' wisdom, the true reflection of cultural heritage and values, including ancient norms and traditions. Some things that I sincerely hope will forever live and linger among us and the next generation.
They are the labour of love from women who, at the same time, weave their social structure and identity in a crafty way.
And I, for the love of it, try to wear them all the time.
As I see my photo folders here and there, I found many of those colorful photos are stacking and not yet published. Where have you been, Indah?
