"This is a botari. The picture you asked for is inside."
Inspired by René Magritte’s Ceci n’est pas une pipe and the Little Prince’s box that hides the sheep. ("This is just the box. The sheep you asked for is inside.”- Little Prince)
* Btari - Bojagi is a flexible cloth that can wrap any shape without a fixed form.
When something is wrapped in a bojagi, it becomes a "botari."
