Salam kenal!
Nice to meet you!
I am an Indonesian artist based in Queens, working fluidly across film, photography, and performance. My practice moves between mediums as a way to think, feel, and translate experience. I approach each work as a conversation—between the body and the camera, between gesture and stillness, between what can be seen and what can be sensed.
I first began experimenting with poetry, images, and movement in Bogor, Indonesia, where storytelling became a way to understand the world around me. That curiosity eventually brought me to New York, where I earned a BFA in Film and Video Production at The City College of New York. Studying within the fiction track shaped how I think about narrative structure, rhythm, and the emotional architecture of a scene—less as something to be told, and more as something to be felt.
Now, as an MFA candidate in Integrated Media Arts at Hunter College, I continue to explore how different mediums can exist in dialogue rather than hierarchy. Film helps me understand time and rhythm; photography teaches me attention and stillness; performance invites presence and risk.
Much of my process begins in observation—watching how light moves across a surface, how a gesture lingers, how sound shifts within a space. I am drawn to quiet transitions, to moments that feel uncertain or unresolved. My work often begins with a feeling, an image, or a fragment of text that gradually unfolds through making.
I move fluidly between filming, writing, and performing, letting each action inform the next. I think of process as a form of language—built through repetition, attention, and time. Each work becomes an attempt to listen, to hold, and to translate something fleeting into a shared moment of presence.
