scarf art

The art of kantha finds its roots in the Indian subcontinent, notably in the areas of West Bengal and Bangladesh, where it emerged as a traditional embroidery technique. It consists of stitching together two pieces of discarded saris to create new and reversible garments that are a visually compelling collage of history and culture. Rajveer presents an exquisite silk scarf crafted through this revered and eco-friendly method where splendid screen-printed motifs dance over a canvas of vibrant colours. One side boasts bright hues of fuchsia, yellow, green and grey while the other features ginger, pink, green and purple shades. Loose threads form delicate fringes at both ends as the finishing touch to this unique accessory.

Boasting a luminous look, the accessories are also accented with natural garnet jewels, whose scarlet light captivates with ethereal allure.

Sacred mythological texts written by sages announced the existence of the spirit of darkness, whose name is composed of the words Bhuta and Kala, meaning “energy that causes darkness.” With an ancestral origin, the spirit Bhutakala is portrayed as an entity of balance, allowing harmonious life and testing humans' true nature. Source of mystic power, the entity is depicted by Made Tresna of Bali in this hibiscus wood mask, boasting the region's exquisite artistry and rich nature.

The Kponyugo mask, sometimes known as the "firespitter" mask, is an important ceremonial mask for the Senufo people of Mali, the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. Its fierce appearance is intended to elicit uncertainty and apprehension, and it is commonly used during funeral rituals to scare away malevolent spirits. Salihu Ibrahim replicates the mask with extraordinary attention to detail. Featuring horns, pointy tusks, sharp-looking teeth, and a raffia mane, the visage is fearsome.

The Indian region shows its marvelous style with an exquisite creation by Ashfaq Ahmed.
