Finding Myself, Again

10:00 AM

This post is specially written about a story of how I find myself, again.

--

I, a woman who still knows nothing about how life works, have a story on how I found myself. My own self.

Not many people know about this but in the past days, I always obey people and try to please people that it ended up ruining me. I have been always be in pain. Not only from sickness, but also from other things. I got lots and lots of emotional damage in my life. Bullied, betrayed, abused, and also emotionally hurt; by words and actions.

I thought I was so damaged that I've created "my other self ", making me into a double personality or bipolar person.

She is a strong woman, a tough one. I never really know her existence until recently when I'm having a personality difficulty. I need to find myself. I know, deep inside my consciousness, that she will always protect me in any situation. She knows no fear. Pain makes her stronger. I was always been weak that people are enjoying hurting me because I don't speak up. And every time someone hurt me, she gets stronger and build the wall that is unbreakable. That's how I lived for all these years.

Until one day, something happened to me.

I.. met her.

I just realized how different she is from me. How strong she have become. I didn't realized it myself that I also grow stronger, together with her. And day by day, we're emerging into one whole new individual... Me. I can't believe that this persona that I created, helped me become who I am today.

I am her, she is me.

From that day on, every artwork that I make, every story that I tell..
It was always about our story.

2016 SHOWREEL

10:24 AM

Hello again, everyone! How you guys are doing? 
It's almost the end of the year again, so it means that it's time for RECAP of what happened in 2016.

First, I would like to thank you for all your supports and likes in my Instagram. My Instagram is flooding with your likes and comments. I really appreciated it :)

Well, since I'm no longer working in the studio again (I'm an office lady now :p), I don't really have much free time for my personal work. However, I'm trying to still do it as often as I can because it's my passion and my second job too. I'll stay creative :)

OK, let's move on.

Since I moved to Seoul, I got a lot of chance to work with foreign models. Don't judge me, but I do prefer foreign models than the Asian. Although, many Korean model agencies has recruited a lot of unique faces, but I feel like Europeans have a lot more variant and diverse face features, each of them are different. And of course, another good point, that their face features match with my concept. So, on this moment, I would like to introduce you the foreign models that I've been working with in 2016.

Emma (Netherland)


Iida (Sweden)

Alexa (Russia)

Lisa (Norway)

Embla (Norway)


My roommate, Arianna (Italy)

Tabya (German)

Lily (France)

Sasha (Russia)

Tschennie/Jenny (German)

Pretty, aren't they? Honestly, I really enjoyed taking pictures with them because not only you get to know them and get your artwork, but you also learn each other's cultural background. We talked about our countries' political condition, cultural issues, etc. It was mind-blowing. There are things that you will not know about a certain country other than having conversation with the natives. Media are sometimes fake and not digging deep enough. 

Other than working with foreign models, this year I got a chance to meet, take pictures, collaborated, and be friends with beauty bloggers/Youtubers. I met these two beautiful ladies from my friend, Musa, who used to shoot pictures with one of them. 

Let me introduce you...


Sunny Dahye

Kim Dao

Our Christmas collaboration

This powerful duo has been friends for 6 years (?) and they always together. I will link their Youtube channels below. As some of you may know, Sunny is a Korean who used to live and grew up in Indonesia. She speaks Indonesian like a native, like me. I still remember the first time I met her, I was shocked of how fluent she is. It feels like me talking to my Indonesian friends, not to a Korean. And Kim, she's a Vietnamese who was born and grew up in Australia and currently living in Japan. Three of us are the same age, the 90s, so no wonder that every time we meet, we just talk shit and sometimes having deep conversation (just because we like to criticize haha). I'm lucky to be one of their friends.

So yeah.. I guess it's almost the end of my not-so-long post. I really want to post everything here but I just don't have time and energy to do it. 

Make sure you follow my Instagram here for my artwork updates.

I will launch my official website SOON (I really hope I can do it fast), so bare with me!
To end this post, I would like to share my favorite pieces from 2016.
