Done being numb from fast-paced life.
Ready to slow down and enjoy the silence.
Unique original prints, made by hand without a printer being involved.
Between the beauty and impossible, home will always speak louder than words – from one generation to the next.
Whenever I see traditional architecture, I will stop, look, ponder and wonder how life was when people called them ‘Home’.
The current series: Part one: Rumah Ibu, or ‘mothers/main house’
Minimalist
The focus is on the house. The elegance, architecture, and timelessness shines. It’s telling a unique story without distraction. The colours are revealing the emotion. The absence speaks. I am intrigued to look at the house from different angles, from different lights, so I can appreciate the house for what it is.
Lost in Time
Whereas some traditional houses remain, many of them slowly are fading away and given back to nature. These houses do require quite some maintenance, they are more rural than urban and it does take dedication to keep them prominent in societies. These prints explore how fragile such sturdy structures are in the context of time. Nostalgia, vintage, perhaps grunge are some of the feelings I get when I see shadows of the houses they used to be. Time moves on, it doesn’t stop. That is what I wanted to capture.
In the Mountains
The state of Perak has amazing sceneries of limestone hills and mountains. They roll after each other as waves in the ocean. Homes need a place to stand, a place to ground, a place to turn to. A tangible place you can go to. A place to relax, wind down, enjoy the silence, hours away from buzzing city life. Clean air, beautiful nature, great hikes and the most epic waterfalls (or caves!) to cool down after being in the constant tropical heat. The Rumah Kutai stands there it it’s full right and that’s truly breathtaking.
