Rahasia Dapur Ibu

“Mother’s Kitchen Secrets” transforms ordinary household objects into a monument to my mother. Pots and various domestic objects are part of everyday life, often closely connected to repeated and unseen expressions of care. Through their accumulation, these objects become more than functional tools; they become traces of time, hard work, presence, and love.

By presenting these familiar objects as a monument, I reconsider what is truly worthy of being remembered and celebrated. Rather than building a monument from something grand or everlasting, I choose the ordinary things that have shaped the fabric of my mother’s daily life.

Although this work is deeply personal, it carries a universal experience: how even the smallest objects can become powerful vessels of memory when connected to someone we love. Thus becomes a form of reciprocation—not through a material gift, but through the act of continuing to remember.
