Sienna Martz paid special attention to the straps of bojagithat covered wooden geese during the wedding ceremony. Thebojagiwas not only functional but also decorational because the straps were embroidered with gorgeous floral patterns. Sienna Martz enlarged straps that were hanging aroundbojagi. Martz borrowed the form and patterns frombojagistraps, but used vinyl cotton cloth and acrylic threads, enlarged the size, and colored them. Now, an abstract piece was created. Red and blue of her <subo straps> signify the balance of yin and yang, while the long tassels hanging down the tapestries symbolize longevity and eternal love.
