The art installation is a celebration of texture around us, including nature, that often goes unnoticed and hidden. Through masterful use of Batik techniques the artist communicates a visual language that is communicative and expressive, quirky and beautiful, that hopes to leave a memorable impression on the passer-by.

The panels explore the intersection of batik techniques and the free thinking of Shakil to show what value and appeal the craft of Batik can hold. The vigorous brush-strokes, the cracks, the spots, the volumes, the direction of movement and the inky backgrounds - all purposefully different from Batik block-print - suggests new possibilities with Batik that can go beyond an easy categorisation.
