At the heart of this project is a magnificent sculptural art piece, titled "Weaving The Future", created by internationally renowned Malaysian artist Michelle Yap x The Ranee, headed by Rosemarie Wong, owner and Creative Director of The Ranee of Sarawak, who brought this vision to life together with the weavers from Betong Division, Sarawak.

These indigenous Iban artisans, renowned for their traditional handcraft of intricate baskets and mats from natural fibers, embarked on an exciting new challenge. For the very first time, they applied traditional weaving technique to a modern medium: LED light strips. This bold experimentation brilliantly captured the essence of both traditional artistry and futuristic innovation.

The project powerfully highlights the incredible adaptability and talent of these women weavers and their boundless capacity to push creative boundaries.
