Experimentation with the use of the Andrika symbols to come up with a hidden message of meanings such as emancipation and slavery, showing the two different sides, which both critiques and celebrates at the same time. Which relate to the times of slavery and the hidden meanings of songs used as a part of the underground railroad. Another idea was to use the lyrics of work songs, which were used to translate hidden messages to pass onto other slaves. Also another initial idea of placing all the words which are still used today in popular culture onto the tote bag, which actually came from the slaves who brought the words over from Africa. The most successful ideas were then chosen to be developed and experimented with in the process of batik.
