"In Bali, the community of kite enthusiasts has developed a unique tradition deeply rooted
in the island’s culture and nature. Here, flying a kite is not just a pastime—it’s a symbol of freedom, a ritual that brings together generations.
Many of these kites are handmade by community members, who spend hours designing and crafting them with local materials and techniques passed down over generations. The colours and patterns on the kites often reflect elements of local spirituality and beliefs, such as symbols of protection or a connection with the sky and spirits.
Each flight, therefore, is not just a display of skill but a personal and collective expression of freedom. The kites are meticulously cared for: repaired when damaged, decorated to express new ideas or emotions, and celebrated in local competitions and festivals like the famous Bali Kite Festival."
