No One's City
No One’s City (ongoing)
As the largest city in Indonesia, Jakarta has hundreds, thousands, even millions of people passing each other every day. Each with their own rhythms, routes, and reasons. Because of that, I have always felt that this city exists in a state of shared ownership, it’s never truly belonging to any single person.
From that feeling emerges a quiet curiosity: if no one fully owns the city, what remains in the spaces between us? What lingers after movement, after presence, after stories overlap and dissolve?
No One’s City is a quiet observation of Jakarta and its surrounding edges. It captures the raw landscape of the city by emphasizing the dynamics of light and the overlooked spaces that linger behind movement. Traces become fragmented, and the residue of presence turns inward — existing in the silent intervals between stories.
