THE TALE OF NANG BELAU {A WOMEN DRAPPED IN HISTORY AND SILK}

An illustration depicting the lady in blue {Nang Belau}. "In hues of blue, her name was born, Nang Belau, of elegance worn. A silhouette draped in Thai weave, Songket glinting like twilight was perceived. A noble lineage of two great lands, Malay grace with Siamese hands. From royal courts to whispered tale, She walked the line where cultures entailed." The graphic then follows with patterns of songket inspired and thai influence, along with 3 colors mainly used in the illustration.

Poem continues with "Her shoulder veiled in silk cascade, Some muttered and others would grade, Whispers speak of arm-fat fears, Yet stunning she is - none mishears. Heels arc high like palace stairs, Her presence praised in regal airs. Each step—a rhythm, poised and proud, A queen among the mortal crowd." On the right side of the poem illustrates the lady in blue walking in her black heels. "By day she gleamed, composed, refined, With voice like bells, and eyes that shine. But came the dusk, the night wind musk She turns into a stranger who came out of her husk." Differencing with drawings of Nang Belau poised during day time and wearing her spectacles as a mask at night time.
