Description

Batik is a traditional fabric art form that involves applying hot wax to fabric to create patterns and designs, which resist dyeing. The fabric is then dyed, and the wax is removed, leaving behind intricate, colorful patterns. This technique produces unique and culturally significant designs, often reflecting nature, symbols, or abstract motifs.

Batik is deeply rooted in the culture of Indonesia, with different regions having their own distinctive styles and techniques. It is widely used in clothing, accessories, and home decor, and is celebrated for its craftsmanship and artistic value. Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, batik has become a symbol of cultural identity and pride, particularly in Indonesia.
