Batik art, 'Goddess of Beauty'
Kala Rau open his gaping maw to devour the Hindu moon goddess, Dewi Ratih. Yet the rays of light that surround her represent the glow of life, as she is an immortal spirit. Working in hand-canted batik ? a sort of freehand drawing with melted wax ? Ida Bagus Lawa Bargawa creates a signature wall hanging with intricate detail. "Today's prosperity very much takes advantage of the oppressed," he admonishes. "People who have power act arbitrarily against the weak. Good people whose lives are straight are often vilified instead, and cannot do anything about it."
