About the Collection
Cirebon Cloud
The illustration is inspired by the Cirebon batik Megamendung pattern from Java. Cirebon batik is renowned for its striking motifs and strong colours. The Megamendung pattern, which resembles Chinese cloud imagery, stems from Chinese influences that can be seen in the culture of the port city of Cirebon. The clouds, full of water particles, symbolize the coming of rain to give fertility and life to earth.
