What truly sets her apart are her elongated earlobes, stretched over time to accommodate large, ornate earrings—a cherished tradition among the Kenyah Dayak, symbolising beauty, wisdom, and social status. In her hands, she holds hornbill feathers, fanned out like wings, their movement adding grace and depth to her performance. These sacred feathers, often associated with power and spirituality, enhance the fluidity of her dance, making each gesture more profound.
As the rhythmic beats of tingkilan music fills the air, she moves with striking elegance, narrating silent tales of warriors, spirits, and the deep-rooted connection between humans and nature. Her hands sway like flowing water, her feet step in perfect rhythm, and the feathers flutter as though they carry the whispers of ancestors.
In her poised expression, one can witness the soul of the Kenyah Dayak, a culture that thrives against time, deeply embedded with the forests and rivers of Borneo.
