"Dance; the hidden language of the soul."
Ulek Mayang: The Rhythm That Wrote My Warrior Princesses
This is the beat that shaped my book, and the breath behind my warrior women Ulek Mayang is a traditional healing dance-ritual from the state of Terengganu. It is a ritualistic dance performed to appease or invoke the spirits of the sea and is always accompanied by a unique song. The word ulek means “to soothe” or “to lull,” and mayang refers to the flowering fronds of the coconut palm, used as a sacred object in the performance. It’s believed to heal fishermen or villagers who fall ill due to spiritual disturbance, especially from sea spirits or unseen forces tied to the ocean.

🗺️ Sound as a Place: How Music Becomes Emotional Geography . AI-Generated.
Close your eyes. Think of the last song that truly moved you. Now think: Where did it take you? Not just emotionally—but physically, spatially. Did it drop you into a rainy city at midnight?

Shadow Dance
Shadows have always fascinated humanity. They are the silent partners of light, ever-present yet elusive, shaping the world around us in subtle and profound ways. The “shadow dance” is a metaphor that captures the dynamic interplay between light and darkness — both literally, in the natural world, and symbolically, within our lives and art.
