There is something very captivating about fiber, like the vibrant colors of yarn, the textures that invite touch, and the limitless possibilities of transformation. I am drawn to fiber and material studies because of this ability to turn simple threads into detailed, beautiful works of art that speak to the soul.

Growing up in Indonesia made me realize how diverse it is and how much can be created from fiber. The many different types of textiles and patterns, especially batik and weaving, are filled with intricate details that reflect both history and identity. Watching Indonesian artists transform raw materials into exquisite patterns and textures deeply inspired me. These experiences made me love fiber art, and I have a desire to carry these traditions into my practice. Even if not all of my works directly reference Indonesian textiles, I try to incorporate fabrics or ideas from them while also adding my own personal meaning.

Weaving is an important part of my practice, and my process on the floor loom is both technical and reflective. I spend time considering color, texture, and structure, and how they can communicate cultural references or inner emotions. Process is not only about technique but also about thought, and each decision becomes a way of connecting past and present.

At the same time, my portfolio is not limited to weaving. I explore a wide range of materials and mediums, from dyeing and stitching to sculpture, felting, and mixed media, because I love exploring and challenging myself to create art beyond a single focus. Fiber often serves as the foundation, but I use experimentation to push the boundaries of what fiber art can become. I'm interested in how things have both cultural and personal value, and how combining them can create new stories.

Fiber is more than just a medium because it is a language of relationships. I want my work to honor the power of fiber to turn the everyday into something profound and to invite others to experience its closeness, strength, and beauty.
