ROOTED
Rooted is my new ongoing art collection. In my mixed-media paintings, combining acrylic, oil pastel, and cotton spun, I explore texture and depth with gentle storytelling. Rooted takes inspiration from the Indonesian phrase “tercerabut dari akar” , “pulled out from the root.” It reflects our disconnection from nature, culture, heritage, community, and even ourselves. Through this work, I seek to reconnect with these threads.
Batik patterns wind through each piece, honoring my Indonesian roots, where every line and motif carries a story. By weaving these patterns into my work, I invite viewers to reflect on their own heritage and the hidden threads that quietly shape identity and belonging.

Both the woman and the water buffalo are draped in blankets adorned with Batik Tambal, a traditional Indonesian fabric whose name means “to patch up.” Long ago, this fabric was used to cover those who were ill, symbolizing care and protection. Recovering tells a story of gentle restoration and the tender moments that help us mend what has been broken.

The woman in this painting wears a Javanese kebaya, a garment traditionally worn during weddings; moments that honor hope, connection, and new beginnings. Compassion tells the story of holding onto goodness even when the world feels heavy. It is a reminder that grace requires courage, and that staying kind is its own form of strength.
