Stripes in cotton in a collage

with narrow panels of back strap

weaves of Nagaland.

Lagom is a Swedish word to espouse their culture of ‘just the right amount”, where you don’t want to ‘stand out’ by having or doing too much. Something that is neither too much, nor too little, but just right.

I call this dupatta Lagom, because it speaks through the feeling of just enough!

Subtle, yet not plain.

Simple, but not boring.

Less, but not invisible.

To the eyes seeking the joy in this state of heart, this will resonate silently and effortlessly.
