Batik is a traditional textile art form originating from Indonesia, characterized by its intricate designs created using a wax-resist dyeing technique. Artisans apply hot wax to fabric, which prevents dye from penetrating certain areas, allowing for detailed patterns and vibrant colors. Once the dyeing process is complete, the wax is removed, revealing the final design. This craft is not only popular in Indonesia but also has cultural significance in other countries, including Malaysia and Nigeria. Batik is often used to make clothing, home decor, and accessories, showcasing the rich heritage and artistic expression of the regions where it is practiced.
