Don't Forget About Home

‘Don’t Forget About Home’ is a series that explores our connection to the world around us and within us. It speaks of knowing your roots, staying close to home, and listening to the quiet echo of where you come from. But it also reflects the courage of letting go. Leaving behind what’s familiar in search of something deeper: a sense of home within yourself, recognition in strangers, belonging in unfamiliar places. In April 2025, I travelled to Kintamani and Amed, two regions in Indonesia that remain raw, untouched, and deeply rooted in their own rhythm. Places that resist exposure, and quietly guard their authenticity. There, I collected sand from different coastlines, stones shaped by heat and time, and textures carved by wind, water, and silence. Through ‘Don’t Forget About Home’, I reconnected with my Indonesian roots. I explored what it means to carry a home inside you, and how, sometimes, letting go is the only way to return to what truly belongs to you.
