(b. 1984) Some relatives called me “Memi”, know and love photography since high school, went to college majoring in Public Relations. Currently based in Jakarta – Indonesia and work as a freelance photographer, has attended several group exhibitions in Indonesia and abroad. My work is based on personal experiences and other forms of diaries also as a healing, most tell about self identity and the role of women, play in the imagination, reality, and dreams, all three seemed to be vague in my life. The mind state which I called “White Box” a safe place for contemplation. I also like experimenting with various media, expanded media, and alternative process.
