“The Spiral of Life” floating in deep indigo.
Possessing both tranquility and strength,
This is a traditional indigo-dyed cloth of the Hmong people.
The swirling patterns depicted are said to symbolize the cycle of life and the regeneration of the soul.
The geometric patterns in the center are sacred symbols representing the connection between the universe and ancestors.
The spiral is a shape that symbolizes the journey of life.
Encounters and farewells, the past and the future, beginnings and endings are all connected,
and this indigo cloth quietly indicates the place where one's soul returns.
Since ancient times, Hmong women have fermented natural indigo and used batik to draw these patterns, one brushstroke at a time.
Each hand-drawn pattern is unique in the world.
Beautiful as an interior accent, a ritual cloth, or a tapestry,
the deep indigo color, like the night sky, quietly envelops the space.
Feel the "circle of time" contained in a single piece of cloth.
