Such a dynamic of ephemerality and transformation is evident in the work of Dian Mayang, where memory and emotion are woven into tangible form. Limitless Embrace, foregorunds the relationship between mother n daughter that is situated betweeen difference n acceptance. The works articulate two contrasting personalities, the mother's perfectionsm and the daughter's more instinctual, playful disposition. Yet rather than cancelling one another out, thede divergences are sewn into a gesture of embrance, insinuating that affection (rasa sayang) is not diminished by difference but expanded through it. The fabric becomes a metaphorical terrain where dissonance is inhabited, reflecting the ongoing adaptation required to maintain intergenerational bonds. Limitless Embrace reframes weaving not simply as material practice but as a relational poetics. It is an enactment of acceptance, of a love capacious enough to hold imperfection without erasure.
