• About This Artist

  Min's passion for art is rooted in the concept of transforming thought to form & bringing to life what was once just imagination into reality. Min and her team have been making scarves with the Arashi Shibori, a traditional Japanese technique to dye fabric. For each of her Shibori scarf, Min uses a piece of white silk. It is then dyed, pleated and painted, all by hand. Although the process is time-consuming and demanding, Min finds joy in it because of the final product, a beautiful scarf.
