Unseen Matters’ Raya Through Malaysia’s Rich Heritage

This Raya, Unseen Matters partnered with an unseen community—a local artist—to create this meaningful illustration, weaving Malaysia’s rich wildlife, flora, and traditions into a vibrant design that brings depth to our gifts. The Malayan sun bear and tapir reflect our unique biodiversity, while the hibiscus and Rafflesia symbolize Malaysia’s lush landscapes. Traditional games like gasing, batu seremban, and sepak takraw evoke nostalgia, reminding us of the joy of togetherness during festive seasons.

Blending nature, culture, and play, this piece captures the essence of Raya—unity, heritage, and cherished memories.

Finished illustration is made into a pattern swatch where it is used to print on fabric – and the fabric used to make wrappings for gifts.

Thank you Unseen Matters for the wonderful opportunity and also the feature in your catalogue!
