Woven takes a close-up photo of traditional patterns of different cultures printed in pictorials and lay them across each other. These include the "Batik" and "Songket" from Indonesia, the "Tapa" from Oceania, and "Arabesque" from the Islamic culture, and the "Minwha" (pictures painted by an unknown person for practical purposes with folktales) from Korea. The differences and similarities of various cultures unfold abstractly, yet narratively, in the form of moving images that flow through time and line.
