Mahsuri is the name of a princess in Langkawi, Malaysia. The geometric patterns created with hand-made paper, metal threads and bamboo are reminiscent of decorations of Islamic architecture or traditional batik motifs. This work represents a fusion of Islamic Malay tradition and western modernistic abstract painting.
