Monopolar2026

JOURNAL
Substack, Lost & Found, April 2026

An essay about magnetic monopoles, the particle physicists have spent decades searching for, the one with only a north or only a south, pure and undivided, which does not exist. And about the version of that thing we keep reaching for in ourselves. Monopolar moves through physics, through Murakami's split characters, through Dave Chappelle on Midnight Miracle, through every moment we've chased the feeling of wanting only one thing. It started with a song. It doesn't resolve. That's the point.

Airbnb2024

BRAND CAMPAIGN
Global campaign for Airbnb, photographed over several days in Shinano, Nagano Prefecture. Multi-platform, running across TV, billboards, and digital media. Airbnb Japan's campaign brief was built around connection, travel, and shared experience, the particular kind that happens when people who actually know each other go somewhere together. Rather than traditional casting, the approach called for real relationships in front of the camera, and the photographs read accordingly.

Audemars Piguet2019

BRAND CAMPAIGN & REPORTAGE
Photography for Audemars Piguet's Beyond Watchmaking exhibition in Tokyo, featuring designer and musician Johnny Hiramoto. Published on Hypebeast. Tokyo, 2019.

Beyond Watchmaking brought Audemars Piguet's 144-year history to Tokyo Midtown in October 2019, staging over 150 watches within an exhibition space designed by Mathieu Lehanneur as a copper ring structured around rock replicas cast from the Vallée de Joux. To accompany the exhibition, Audemars Piguet commissioned a portrait series featuring Tokyo-based designer and musician Johnny Hiramoto, moving through the city before arriving at the show. The photographs were published on Hypebeast as part of the exhibition coverage.

The Editors Club & Loewe2021

BRAND CAMPAIGN CONTENT
The Editors Club approached the project as a portrait rather than a lookbook. The muse is Eva Celia, musician, actress, a person with a very specific atmosphere, and the wardrobe is Loewe. The concept moves through Eva's qualities in alphabetical order, one characteristic at a time, until it arrives at the word that holds them all together: LOVE. Shot in a Bobobox capsule hotel in Tanah Abang, a deliberately everyday Jakarta location, which makes the Loewe feel more real and less like an advertisement.

Dove Project #ShowUs2018

BRAND CAMPAIGN
Project #ShowUs began from a single statistic: 70% of women worldwide say they still don't feel represented in the images they see every day. Dove's response was not another campaign. It was an infrastructure, a global library of over 10,000 photographs sourced from 200+ photographers across 39 countries, with every image tagged by the subjects themselves, in their own words, on their own terms. I was one of those photographers, contributing from Indonesia.

I photographed two women I know. My mother, a breast cancer survivor who runs marathons. And my closest friend, who was pregnant with her first child at the time of the shoot. I did not have to look far for women who were invisible in advertising. I just had to look at my own life.

BLUE ALGAE - Sua and Sora2025

SHORT STORY

Blue Algae follows Sua, a restless photographer who has built a life in transit, moving through cities and collecting fleeting moments through her lens while keeping herself detached from anything that might ask her to stay. Beneath her free-spirited, elusive exterior is a woman shaped by loss, trauma, and a quiet fear of wanting too much. One night, she receives a message from Sora, the man who was once her muse, the one she loved but could never fully hold onto because of his emotional distance.

Ellis2021

DOCUMENTARY

A portrait of Ellis, a woman living with Alopecia Universalis since birth, who has never known what it feels like to have hair. Photographed across the small corners of her daily life in Jakarta, the project unfolds through WhatsApp conversations woven into images, tracing how intimacy between two women was built slowly, message by message, before the camera ever appeared. Made as a final project for the Panna Future Talent 2021 online photography program, it asks a question that stays long after the images do: can a woman exist fully outside the things she was told made her beautiful?
