Dayang Salim van Wezel
Dayang Salim’s current focus on embroidery, paired with her eco-conscious approach, highlights her commitment to sustainability and creativity. Her use of recycled fabrics not only supports environmental responsibility but also enriches her designs with a narrative of resourcefulness. Her work, characterized by its lively and colorful depictions, allows her to create dynamic pieces that resonate with her multicultural heritage. The cheerful, instinctive nature of her embroidery, with everyday scenes as inspiration, brings an authentic and personal dimension to her artistic practice.
In her home products, such as placemats, cushions, or fabrics, Dayang's eclectic style might manifest through geometric patterns, florals, or abstract forms, highlighting the confluence of different cultures. Her work probably focuses on the delicate balance between modernity and tradition, celebrating mobility and personal history through designs that feel both familiar and refreshingly unique.
