Swirling shapes and colour, bunching, vibrant flowers surrounding my own figure dressed in my cultural clothing. A visual depiction of the overwhelming amount of conflicting feelings both positive and negative, that come with trying to present and align myself with the culture and background of me and my family. Even dressed in traditional Indonesian clothing, the figure (me) is surrounded with swirling and spinning emotions. Batik is beautiful but it feels foreign on me, contrasting too much with what I feel.
