And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.

-Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Ikkat is a traditional textile printing technique originating from India and Southeast Asia. It's known for its unique, blurred, and feathered patterns. The word ikat is derived from the Malay word mengikat, which means to tie or bind. The ikkat fabric is created by tying the threads in a specific pattern and then dyeing them in various colors. Once the threads are dyed, they are woven into patterns and designs. Ikkat patterns have soft, blurred edges due to the resist-dyeing process, and often feature feathered or cloud-like designs, which are achieved by binding and dyeing the fabric. Ikkat prints typically feature geometric patterns, such as stripes, dots, and chevrons dyed in vibrant and bold colors. Ikkat print is used in various textiles, such as scarves, saris, dress materials, and home decor fabrics.

The term ‘Khwaja Sira’, ‘khwaja’ meaning ‘master’ in Persian and ‘sira’ associated with a person in service, is an umbrella term for people who identify as trans, intersex, or eunuch. During the Mughal rule in the subcontinent, the Khwaja Sira community had many important roles to play as they acted as advisors to the emperors, contributing largely to poetry and the arts. They were seen as spiritual guides with heavy political influence, establishing trade, mediating between squabbles in the courts, and blessing ceremonies.

subjective collage of asian models and actresses I often use as face claim inspirations in writing. they are all ridiculously beautiful. through my lesbian flag filter stories on google docs, they have also all been reincarnated as sapphic characters at some point.
