This painting is an expression of joy and delight in discovering the traditional craft based technique of wax-resist dyeing.  The processes involve in the making of this art work revolve around various techniques and medium. For example, the process will start from wood carving to design the block and followed by waxing onto the linen. Thereafter, the dying process takes over. These processes are repeatedly carried out until the textures are formed. The final outcome will only be revealed after the wax is removed. The techniques and processes involved in this art creation symbolize the rhythm and journey of life.
