Rizal's ASEAN: We keep these lives ... in these photographs
- 6 years ago
For this episode of Rizal’s ASEAN, I sat down with three photographers from three different countries.
The artists, Rizki Maulana, Kenji Makizono and Ridduan Ismail attempt to capture what they believe to be representing the present time.
Their youthful energy are apparent in their works, from fashion to utility towers in the Klang Valley.
Each has different style and approach to document the spirit of time in Malaysia (and Indonesia). I asked Rizki, who left for Indonesia several weeks ago (with Indonesian singer Emir Hermono) what would be the perfect caption, if he were to take a ‘mental photo’ of the current happening in the region, especially in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Rizki pondered momentarily before he carefully offered his thoughts. “A Season of Change," he said, matter-of-factly.
"Why? A lot of change is happening, but it is difficult to know if this is for the better or worse. People don’t know what will happen to them. This uncertainty, I think people will find out what is good for them in the long run," he concluded.
