Early 2000 I moved to Germany and for the first  time I was forced to encounter the feeling of being part of a  minority and an object of racism. Growing up in  Indonesia as a part of a majority, having the  privileges that come along with being part of a  majority, this was quite shocking for me. Even  though I knows that not every person gets treated  the same way, it was the first time for me to  experience it first-hand. Not every human-being is  treated equally – what a shame !

I joined several national and international  exhibitions and art projects. My work can be found  in public and private collections throughout Europe  and Indonesia.
