Just a few of my reflection, is this true……

….that we need a distance to seek the beauty of our own ?….that we need to change perspective to understand the meaning of our own ?….that we need to travel around to catch our own valuable differentiation ?….that we need to hear the famous stranger words to be proud of our own culture ?

It’s not about pattern, color, price,

brand, history or batik technique,

it is about how someone with

a very remarkable cultural awareness, try to engage with our culture through

batik
