Kesi, an ancient silk weaving art, is being given a modern twist. From bold brushstrokes to contemporary patterns, today's Kesi artists are pushing the creative boundaries. Yet they are preserving its essence – the intricate "warp and weft" technique – by which tiny textured intersections are created that catch the light and sparkle like stars scattered across the fabric. This mix of old-school craftsmanship and fresh innovation is a proof that some traditions will never go out of style.
