A woman in ceremonial Balinese attire carries an offering on her head. More than a gesture — it's a connection to ancestors, the land, and the community.
Fragment of The Unseen
This project embraces analog photography as a gesture of slowness, presence, and preservation. Each image was shot on film and hand-printed in the darkroom — a process that invites patience, sensitivity, and trust. Some of the photographs were taken in Solo and Bali — places where traditions still live, yet remain vulnerable to disappearance. People read newspapers in the streets, ride becak (pedicabs), practice rituals, and pass knowledge from one generation to the next. This series seeks to capture the fragile beauty of daily life — the threshold between what is seen and what is fading, between the present and what becomes memory
Child and Shadow Memory
A child’s image emerges through layered negatives — as if he already lives inside a memory.

This collage is like a sound montage of life: glances, gestures, faces from streets and temples.
