Under bright sunlight, the water surface acts as a mirror showing the building’s reflection on the water surface. Reality and reflections seem to fuse and create a harmonious view. That’s how this design idea comes from. We relate this idea to the millennial generation by portraying that they are truly being themselves. The millennial generation living in this modern era is flooded with enthusiasm, passion, creativity, and innovation. They are constantly moving on and improving themselves by trying out new ideas to invent new creations while preserving the cultural belief and ancient traditions of ancestry. Nowadays, the millennial generation is leading the world in a better direction. They treat everything with their true heart and efforts. In our design, there is plain and clean water in the middle that reflects two slanted sides of the buildings, it means that even how the millennial generation act, they are still showing their true self-values in this era.

The architectural elements that were present in the overall design are two slanted sides of buildings, the slanted sides meet at one point, that’s at the middle part of the design. Other than that, this design also consists of a stairs shape. Besides, we chose stairs to represent the values of hardworking and persistence where they refuse to give up when facing new life challenges. The stairs shape can be seen at both sides of the bottom and top of the design. Besides, the building shape which was implemented at the left and right side which consist of few parallel straight lines in the design represents the life motivation of the millennial generation. They get hold of any opportunity to develop their ability without limitation like the online platforms and also means to keep going forward to be a successful generation.

Thus, what makes this design motif unprecedented in the current market is that it was designed while implementing the architecture element which is newly designed for nowadays generation. This motif also implements different line weights for the stairs shape and the building shape which are one of the architectural elements too. It can be seen that through the different line weight, it makes it look pop-up. Furthermore, this motif is appealing both domestically and globally because through the repetition of the design it can be seen that it has the harmonies between each other thus it soothes the eyes of the wearer and the audience too. This makes it look special from other designs as mostly batik designs are traditionally designed so it will be able to attract people's attention. Nowadays, the batik trend has become famous globally and the design has been improved through times which we are trying to imply in this batik design of ours.

Last but not least, this batik design well represents the millennial generation which also implements the architectural element. The batik design will also be suitable for any occasion, especially for the millennial generation.
