Exploration of Outside-the-Margins Identity Through Reproduction
It started with a picture, defaced 100 times to show 100 years of progress of the common women’s wear in Indonesia. The process had me questioning and thinking; from the very technical, “what could I do to draw over oil pastel?” to borderline existential about the identity of being an Indonesian woman. I am also…

Challenging Productivity
Reflection I’ve always wanted my practice to center on human experiences and humanizing our existence in the world. This project helped me develop that focus.

putting a face on old stories
In a recent post, I have talked deeply about my findings in St. Pancras Garden. Admittedly, at first, I was confused as to what to do with it, since it isn’t a very dynamic site. It felt like I was just sketching and reading, not much I could do with an object that just stood…
