Requiescat In Pace

In the face of mortality, the only certainty you have is its inevitable coming to all living things. An unwanted happening for most, awaited for some. It's absoluteness is a humbling reflection, a reminder of our authentic human self, of our limited time, whether or not we choose to make peace with it.

Requiescat In Pace, exhibited at Suddenly's The Black Ceremony, and is now up for sale as a 9-frame installation, eight frames of 18 x 22 cm paper, and one single frame with a mirror. Contact Suddenly at ghostgirl.grim@gmail.com for further details.

*thank you Miss Ong for the photo!

the general's impressive bunch

So you're a family of heroes.
So you're a family of charity.
So you're a family of power.

Do you remember when you're proudly scorching your people like animals?
Do you remember when you're denying your responsibilities?
Do you remember when you're demanding more than you deserve?

Just like your sins' inability to erase the good you made, the other way round works just the same.

just because i pick up, doesn't mean i don't know.

Because I am ashamed of my ignorance as a human being.

{ because } is now ticking around!

Based on the song "Because" by The Beatles. One's own delirious perception of time and music.

After a heart-thumping process, "Because" participated in Art Medium Store's Back to Basic (2) group exhibition at Tryst Living, Kemang, and is now up for sale. Contact Art Medium Store at artmedium.conceptstore@gmail.com for further details.

God forbid you ever speak of anything but sunshine and sweet candies.

Oh how wise.

Once again, bravo.

oh oh oh aaah

Because for the moment, I am neglecting all your sanctimonious wisdom and belittling modesty, and thanking the universe for jolly tunes!

It's about time to be honest with the night.
To boldly go where no light has gone before.

And certainly sir, there will be blood.

of those pencil nights

Obsession is something to be less feared than human beings and their minds. Because at the end of the day, nobody, nothing, will have enough time and will to keep you { a little } sane { alive }, as much as that one thing you genuinely love to do.

No matter how sinful you know you are. No matter how fucking lame they say you are. Do.

put your feet where your mouth is

For Republik Insula & Art Medium Store's Suara Indonesia Kini Art Exhibition, discussing the idea of victory and pride as Indonesians.

Opening tomorrow, August 23, 2013, 3 PM, at Alun Alun Grand Indonesia, exhibiting until September 9, 2013.

Put Your Feet Where Your Mouth Is

Of being proud to be Indonesian, maybe I should first truly understand what it means to be Indonesian. Is it to wear batik head to toe twenty-four seven. Is it to condemn any "western influence" when I'm sitting my ass in my blue jeans at McDonalds.

Of being proud to be Indonesian, maybe I should first truly understand what it means to be Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Is it to offer tolerance as long as it's convenient for me. Is it to preach noble causes in public for the sake of some hot shot award shit.

Of being proud to be Indonesian, clearly I should first remember to look in the mirror, and put said feet into my own mouth, before shovelling it down to anyone's throat.

"everybody thinks they are right"

Persistence and solipsism may just sometimes get mixed-up.
And a smart tongue is not always the right one.

But before the whole shit, I promise, I'll be looking into a mirror.

"the ghost in my arms"

so he said i should stop posting photos, cos my photos are ugly.
so i said shut the fuck up, cos i don't care really.
