This documentary examines a single Batik work by artist Jurgen Lehl, using it as a window into both Southeast Asian cultural heritage and the political tensions of the modern world. Guided by museum consultant Lee Chor Lin, the film unpacks the artwork’s commentary on arms and war while also introducing viewers to the intricate visual language of Batik.

It presents Batik not simply as decoration, but as a living medium capable of carrying memory, identity, beauty, and critique.
