Gambiered Guangdong gauze is an art form born from the earth. Made from the Dioscorea cirrhosa plant, the delicate fabric is given its unique texture through exposure to the sun and wind. The artisans, by stretching the fabric across their fields, transform the land into a vast canvas. Using their hands as a brush, they paint flowing natural landscapes.
