The Fold of Belonging
Graduation project - 2020 KABK“The fold of belonging” immerses the audience into my personal story and Indonesian heritage. The design is portable, with a precise fold that echoes how one’s identity is carried with them, whether in their travel bag or in their DNA. “The fold of belonging” is alive with delicate shifts of light triggered by manipulating the foldable robotic controller to illuminate the Batik motifs and the narration.
Our mother told us a lot about our Grandfather and our Indonesian family. But I could always feel there was a sensitivity, a part of the history that wasn’t spoken of. I felt the need to talk about how this influences our childhood and our future. As a third-generation, I think it is also up to us to keep our identity and heritage alive. By making work about what influenced me and how I feel, I am trying to shape my argumentation and continue learning about colonial history and the belonging of the Dutch/Indos in the past and the present.
