A: I knew that Noken has a few philosophies, one of which is being a symbol of good life and prosperity because Noken was made from materials in forest and then used to bring some crops from forest. I illustrated two Papuan women on their way home from forest and using their Noken to bring crops, one of their daily needs. Also, I couldn’t forget to illustrate Honai (one of traditional houses in Papua) and a beautiful landscape in Papua: Baliem Valley. The typeface is inspired by Noken shape itself, and decorative elements are inspired by Noken pattern.
