I want to select locations that are meaningful throughout my experience in Melbourne so far. These places can be based on: where I spend my time the most, memories made, meaningful, comfortable…

Questions I ask myself:
Does it have to be spaces with corners? - to make it consistent?
Should I match emotion to location? - too obvious?

NEW OPPORTUNITY
I will be going home to Jakarta, Indonesia for one week for my sister’s graduation. I want to use this opportunity to convey myself in the city/area where I grew up for most of my life. Possible approaches:

1. Based on my memory of the Jakarta… I will record and capture places that remind me of a special moment or memory. These locations that made an impact in building who I was (where I spent the most time doing/being).
2. Compare and Contrast - Melbourne vs. Jakarta

I decided that my concept will represent the place that I call home. Jakarta, my hometown.
The past few years I have had the privilege to travel and to explore while learning to adapt to my surroundings socially. But while I was in very different settings, there are some things that never change. My cultural identity, my love for my country, and my faith. These are all things and elements that I had grew up with. And so, to be able to capture where I find home and to remind myself that the places I photograph here are bits and pieces, fragments, of the place I call home.
