Born 1989, Indonesia.

My work explores the dynamic relationship between body, space, and time, revealing connections that extend beyond everyday perception. I transform abstract ideas into immersive experiences, blending real and imagined environments to heighten sensory awareness and challenge conventional perspectives.

The body, in my practice, is a vessel of sensation, emotion, and perception that constantly negotiating its position within space. I see space not as fixed or static, but as fluid and transformative. By reflecting, distorting, and reconfiguring architectural and sensory elements, I disrupt expectations and invite viewers to reconsider their own spatial and bodily awareness.

The boundaries between object and body, image and reality, are always in flux. Paintings become three-dimensional structures that invite physical experience; canvases are replaced with mirrors, making reflection, both literal and symbolic, integral to the work. Colour does not rest passively on surfaces but instead floats and intersects with the viewer’s presence, creating an experience that is constantly shifting.

I work across mediums, from architectural sculpture to moving image to create still yet resonant moments, intimate yet expansive. Nature appears not as scenery but as metaphor: the silence of a forest, the density of mist, or the distant roar of the sea become echoes of the inner self, offering glimpses into the invisible landscapes of the mind.

My installations invite deep engagement, encouraging an active negotiation between self, space, and perception. They are spaces of potential, where transformation, disorientation, and discovery are always possible.
