Self-made batik door curtain
After I experienced my very first winter in Finland, I realised how beautiful sunlight could be. I remember embracing the first rays of the sunlight streaming through our curtains in late January 2019. This year, I made sure to appreciate every single day of spring.
I chose this pathway, as it represents best what I consider “passing through”. By emigrating from Malaysia to Finland I have passed through a door and stepped into another reality. This “passing through” was not without pain and difficulty. On the other end of the tunnel, however, I found something worth waiting for.
‘’After a long winter, the sun pierces through our door curtain. It illuminates the patterns of the fabric, paints the refrigerator bright red then passes through the room and disappears – a soft invite to pull the curtain aside. Soon a pale face emerges at the window, carefully curious about the scenery outside.’’
